I appreciate your honesty when you admit you see more ugly people when you are in the bad mood. I see your perspective of the trash bin as a symbol of waste and how it pertains to our life.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for the thoughtful post and the accompanying pictures. You tried to portray ugly, but you couldn’t help bringing some element of beauty in it … like the brilliant red of the trash bag tie, and the lush green foliage that slipped quietly in the corner.platitudinalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14529013316643074533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-666030998217098201.post-26967859747744537932007-04-13T01:28:00.000+02:002007-04-13T01:28:00.000+02:00Wonderful choice of an "ugly" item.
