utilitarian beauty

i love to find interesting 

and beautiful things as inspiration.

and sometimes, i find inspiration in the 

most simple and utilitarian things.

when allen and i get to travel 

(which usually only happens once a year--on our anniversary),

our usual, hurried pace turns into a more leisurely one.

we love to walk around and absorb all the smells and

sights that our destination has to offer.

one of the things that we find 

interesting are the

sewer caps and signage 

that are amazingly unique to each place.

take a peek:

i find the textures on these sewer caps fascinating.

i am planning on getting a few of the above images framed and

hanging them. not only are they 

interesting and graphic,

but they each remind me of a 

special trip with my sweetie!
