Lilly : I saw this sweet little shrine while I was out walking yesterday and it lifted my spirits.
Ronnie : All I saw was this old electric iron stood on a wall.
Lilly : Ronnie, that’s just what you need . . oh, you could make yourself look so smart !

Where is Lilly's mind these days? You don't need to iron your one sock, Ronnie...

Ronnie--you are taking a bit of abuse here lately. I like how the colors/tones in each half mirror each other.

Oops! That would be seeping rust, not SEPING...... seping isn't even a word, so that wouldn't make sense! ha ha

You always find various subjects and have the creativity to make connections between them. This one was not an easy one.

These two photos work well together both the colors and shapes .The radiating marks on the floor of the right photo are interesting.

Sorry for being slow - we don't get it. This is troubling, as we usually giggle at your posts. Please adjust the intellectual level of your jokes to the slower people in the audience!

@Framed and Shot: : We set ourselves the simple task here of finding something out of place within the everyday : a little shrine in the city, an old smoothing iron on set on a wall. We do that kinda thing . . hee hee

It's amazing those things you find..... and where oh where do you find those wonderful little stories from Lilly and Ronnie's lives?! You have an amazing talent!

Hmmm...perhaps there is a moral to this story?
Great discoveries of two that are brought here to become such wonderful art and contrast! Love this!

let me guess,if R irons his own clothes,it will lift up L's spirits even more than the shrine?:)

@tyan: : (from Ronnie) . . hee hee . . we should take you on the staff, Tyan ! You are even more inventive than us.

A fewhours on the fire and it'll be good to go! Just as long as you dont mind soot on your shirt!

I got a basket of ironing to do... does that mean you want to do it?

While Lily is into the healing spirit of things to be rid of the negative energy. Ronnie is out dumpster hunting. There is one reason that iron is in the trash, no one uses them anymore. Of course we will be able to "spot" you Ronnie with all of those rust spots on your shirt.
I liked dobbino's comment about the one sock.
A side note, if there is a slight chance I don't always get the punch line of your creative work, it certainly opens up my creative energy and thoughts with your visual stimulating "two senses". There is always something marvelous here for me.

Well, an electric iron is a shrine of sorts I suppose.. to what I'm not sure.

I'd say this one has a lot of irony. (sorry.)
