The Gift

It's all there all the time.

...in so very many ways. One just has to be open to seeing it. 

Yes it is, compliments,

A lovely blue bracelet in a gift box.  It's clever that the wearer can dial in an important number on the charm (1-4-52, a birth date perhaps?).  The blue against the yellow-brown leaves is nice, as is the found frame of the concrete.  Excellent work.

Jack,

 Wonderful image with great colors & details.  Take care, Patsy

great! compliments -koushik

Sorry Jack, I just don't seem to get it, another Seinfeld moment for me. 

Lovely one :)!

Beautiful image!

Nice Jack!

I resonate with Mark Zell's comment. I will add that the white, yellow and blue form a very nice combination of colors along with a rich texture among the debris.

 

BTW, can you guess the combination?

I view this image as a companion to the bicycle basket shot. Apparently the bicycle owner may have felt some paranoia in leaving his plastic Jesus unattended. This time he brought a lock for security. I suspect the cyclist also maintains a large leaf collection; the new acquisitions are safe in the basket.

I'm with MIchael on this one. This has to be related to the blond Jesus. It is simply too perfect and plastic and. . . blue.

somehow with the blue bike lock laying on top, while we will never know how it got there, I will venture to say what my imagination speaks of. Somehow, someone felt that the contents below were of some value and needed to be protected. All that is beautiful and of value to us humans of course is in the eye of the beholder - and who knows how that person's mind works..........a discarded cigarette......dead leaves, perhaps some discarded gum?........and a piece of metal ? who are we to judge ? Always fascinating Jack - at least making a comment here leaves me feeling 'in control' for a moment........after I click on Add Comment, all bets are off..........I'm lost here. Hope that soon the bugs get ironed out. :) Gail

Well, Gail, these bugs are mind-blowing after you read this: https://www.photo.net/discuss/threads/similarity-of-photoforum-to-photo-net.5496977/
