A couple readers sent in some images and thoughts earlier this week - finding inspiration from colors in a parking garage and with found objects in an Oak Park alley...

Usually, I hate malls, but on Saturday I went with a pal and his daughter on a trip to Harlem Mall and I was rewarded by spotting this accidental collision of bright summer colors in the parking garage. I’ll take inspiration wherever I can find it. Anyway, I thought I’d share it.

and...

I found an old water bottle in a Alley in OakPark IL. This is what I ended up doing with it.
