Shapes

The older one is home sick with a cold today, so I only have something quick: a drain near the entrance to our house. I liked the patterns it made with the stones around it.
Thank you for visiting and commenting on my pictures - this is always a great motivator to read them, and I appreciate your time and thoughts.

Oh my! Who knew a drain cover can be so graphically pleasing! You are right, Pat - @happypat - I haven't thought about it before either, and now I am tempted to pay more attention to those things as well.
Happy to say that the kid was better and off to school the day after - thank you for all the wishes, and for comments on the picture.
