emergent...


A few weeks ago now, as the snow was really melting, I came across this on a ride. What a sign of spring, eh? Emerging from the snowbank, in a drainage ditch, there sat a child's bike. It had obviously been in "storage" for the winter.

I am continuously amazed by what I see along the side of the road. Really, the same is true for the shore and along the banks of a river. In much the same way that "middens" tell us about past societies, this detritus certainly forms a picture of our society. What we let go tells much about what we are.
