			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I love wandering.  The act of setting out with no real purpose or agenda for one&#8217;s day can lead to some fantastic experiences and thoughts.  It&#8217;s one of the few things in life that really soothes the stress and buzzing of the brain that can come with modern life.  At least it is for me, your mileage may vary. </p>
<p>Today was one of the few days when I remembered to take my camera along.  I don&#8217;t have any expectations that I will get any fantastic photos out of these wanderings, but I have a fun time doing it  and it helps me recall the mood and any thoughts that may have been present at that point in time.</p>
<p>Here are some of today&#8217;s wandering photos (click for larger version):</p>

<a href="http://www.kindofstrange.com/wp-content/gallery/random-photos/eyeballs.jpg" title="Halloween display at a local shop that made me laugh.  They're candles." class="shutterset_singlepic126" >
	<img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-center" src="http://www.kindofstrange.com/wp-content/gallery/cache/126__320x240_eyeballs.jpg" alt="eyeballs" title="eyeballs" />
</a>

<p style="text-align: center;">I saw these in the window of a store downtown and laughed.  They&#8217;re candles, evidently.</p>
<p><span id="more-213"></span></p>

<a href="http://www.kindofstrange.com/wp-content/gallery/random-photos/beachwood.jpg" title="Random beachwood surrounded by fresh green seaweed." class="shutterset_singlepic125" >
	<img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-center" src="http://www.kindofstrange.com/wp-content/gallery/cache/125__320x240_beachwood.jpg" alt="beachwood" title="beachwood" />
</a>

<p style="text-align: center;">A random piece of beachwood that caught my eye.</p>

<a href="http://www.kindofstrange.com/wp-content/gallery/random-photos/wornroots.jpg" title="Large, worn roots on the beach." class="shutterset_singlepic130" >
	<img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-center" src="http://www.kindofstrange.com/wp-content/gallery/cache/130__320x240_wornroots.jpg" alt="wornroots" title="wornroots" />
</a>

<p style="text-align: center;">From the same beach as above.  Just a large, well worn tree root some 4+ ft in height.</p>

<a href="http://www.kindofstrange.com/wp-content/gallery/random-photos/babyshoe.jpg" title="Found this while randomly walking around town one day.  The baby shoe was there when I arrived, apparently put out for whoever lost it to easily see it the next time they came around." class="shutterset_singlepic124" >
	<img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-center" src="http://www.kindofstrange.com/wp-content/gallery/cache/124__320x240_babyshoe.jpg" alt="babyshoe" title="babyshoe" />
</a>

<p style="text-align: center;">This was found on a park bench near the beach.  The shoe was already there when I got there, presumably placed in open view so the parent could find it if they noticed it was missing. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.kindofstrange.com/wp-content/gallery/random-photos/shoesonhydrant.jpg" title="I am a big supporter of Vibram FiveFingers 'shoes'.  I love walking barefoot, but have incredibly sensitive feet.  These allow me to wander 'barefoot' without hurting myself.  Standing on a random hydrant downtown because I liked the color contrast." class="shutterset_singlepic128" >
	<img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-center" src="http://www.kindofstrange.com/wp-content/gallery/cache/128__320x240_shoesonhydrant.jpg" alt="shoesonhydrant" title="shoesonhydrant" />
</a>
</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I love Vibram FiveFingers &#8216;shoes&#8217;.  These were my birthday present to myself.  I love the ability to grip things with them, such as this lovely yellow fire hydrant.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.kindofstrange.com/wp-content/gallery/random-photos/spider.jpg" title="I found this little guy on my way back home.  Carefully constructing a new web, completely oblivious or unconcerned about my presence.  " class="shutterset_singlepic129" >
	<img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-center" src="http://www.kindofstrange.com/wp-content/gallery/cache/129__320x240_spider.jpg" alt="spider" title="spider" />
</a>
</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Typical orb weaver spider working on a new web.  Seemed oblivious or unconcerned about how close I got to its web.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.kindofstrange.com/wp-content/gallery/random-photos/yellowflower.jpg" title="A particularly vibrant yellow flower I found on the way back to my car from a day of wandering." class="shutterset_singlepic131" >
	<img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-center" src="http://www.kindofstrange.com/wp-content/gallery/cache/131__320x240_yellowflower.jpg" alt="yellowflower" title="yellowflower" />
</a>
</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I loved the color on these tall, bright yellow flowers that I found on the way back home.</p>
