thanks to jane of the awesome
spain daily, and head honcho of the corner view, for letting me hop aboard. i've been admiring corner views all over the world for the last few weeks, including
here,
here, and
here, and thought it would be fun to speak up from my little corner in the middle of nowhere, united states. i'm a little early (normally everyone posts on wednesdays), but this week if it isn't early, it will be late. the theme this week is cityscapes, courtesy of
cele, and here is my corner view of lawrence, kansas today... (oh ... and just now i noticed that for this one i was supposed to go the the highest point of my city for this cityscape... but i'm not sure i can get to the top of the campanile with a jogging stroller, so eye level has to do for this week...)
we kicked off the day with a short circuit around the 600 and 700 blocks of massachusetts street, stopping first at la prima tazza for a jolt - they make it motor oil thick - i LIKE that...
said hello to liberty hall, our little downtown cinema and concert hall...
my sidekicks - motor oil and birdiegirl...
a message on the dumpster - i'm saying this a lot right now, as school is almost out for the summer and i'm seeing my doodletime rapidly dwindling...
then we found this sweet little piece of origami floating from a mailbox...
and now i'll hit publish, as i've just been alerted to five cobs of corn and a container of strawberries tumbling out of the refrigerator. the toddler is foraging again. i'll spare you that corner view. enjoy your day!

Hahaha - a hungry toddler! (It could so have been me, I am well-known for foraging in our fridge at midnight, plaintively saying - there is NOTHING to eat, why is there NOTHING to eat?? At least you have cobs of corn and strawberries in yours.) What a great couple of corners and the cutest birdie girl!
Aimee,
how fun! so glad you are joining in with all of us :)
Lawrence must be the coolest town! I hope to visit someday. Love the clipboards, Aimee! What a fun project! I love all that vintage retro stuff, too!
I love picking out the familiar places. LPT is one of our favorites, too.
you do live in the coolest town. love your corner.
Your corner is great! colourful and full of life
love your sidekicks! one is cute, the other is the best petrol ever!!! xo
Wow, such a lovely little vintage coffee shop, lovely shots and yes, going back to the comment you made on my blog, a trip to Quebec might really be worth your while, but then again Lawrence might be too...
;D

Those are some fantastic corners!!
I can sure relate to the fridge-alanche. We have 'em here all the time.
Now that's a corner I wouldn't mind getting stuck in. Great photos. And with an adorable smile like that, birdiegirl can get away with anything!
I discovered you on the pages of Artful Blogging and I'm glad I did. Not only I enjoy your art but I completely relate to your writings. Your blog is a feast. I added you on my blogroll so I can come visit you once in a while.
Did you bring coffee on your walk...hihi
your view of life is just simply GREAT. thanks for another super walk with you.
btw, all the african atc cards are now gone, but will get on with it and make some more, and you will get the first pick...hugs from an atc crazed addict!

How intriguing! I was in Lawrence a week ago and found an origami bird exactly like yours hanging from a branch in a little park. I wandered in to enjoy my scone and java, and there it was --- hanging down from a branch. Wonderful fun!
