Melli is hosting an ABC photo challenge in which we’re supposed to look for letters in common everyday things or in nature without actually manipulating anything to make the letter and without photographing the letter itself in a word or sign. We’re doing two letters a week, and this week it is K and L.

K was by far the hardest one for me so far and the one I spent the most time looking for. Somehow I thought I’d find one in tree branches, and I was hoping my neighbors wouldn’t come out while I was walking around with my camera in hand and ask me what I was doing.

“I’m looking for a K.”

“A ‘K’? What do you mean?”

“I need to find something in the shape of a K.”

“Why?”

“Because I need to post it on the Internet.”

“Ooooookaaaay…”

I don’t know my neighbors very well, and I can imagine the impression this would make…

But thankfully no one came out while I was scouting for a K.

When I picked Jesse up from basketball practice, I drove around the parking lot looking at trees and such, but I saw no Ks there, either. I did tell him what I was doing. It’s OK, he’s used to me by now. 🙂

Then he saw one on the way home, and took this picture for me while we were at the red light, so I could keep my eyes on the light, cars, and everything else a responsible driver is supposed to be watching rather than looking for Ks.

This is the side support structure for the crossbar that goes over the overpass from which traffic lights are hung.

Ls were much easier to find:

Wouldn’t you know I wouldn’t see that speck under the end table until after I had taken the picture, downloaded it, then uploaded it. But I will leave it because it is late and I need to go to bed, and so you’ll know my house isn’t perfectly kept. Just in case you entertained any thoughts that it might be.

You can check Melli‘s for other people’s adventures with K and L this week.

Happy half-way-through-the-week day!
