Mitten
May 2026
Belleville Ontario Canada (not the 51st state - not now not ever!)

I'm fascinated by lost objects. What is the story of this mitten, and why was it on a bench, on Spring day in May, when snow has been gone for some time?

I'm fascinated by lost objects. These gloves were left behind on a public bench.

Shoes
August 2025
St John's, Newfoundland, Canada

I'm fascinated by lost objects. Take these shoes for example, found on the sidewalk and pavement. Who manages to lose their shoes while walking downtown? Did the person buy new shoes and simply discarded these ones carelessly? What is the real story behind them?

Scissor Gnomes. They have been a plague upon me since I was a child. Put the scissors (or box knife) down while working. Use another tool for a few minutes... Finish. Reach for the scissors... They aren't where I put them. Look everywhere in the vicinity. Find them not. Yell and scream at the Scissor Gnomes, tell them this is NOT FUNNY. Walk out of room. Return. Scissors are back where I first put them down. Scissor Gnomes. Total jerks. #scissorgnomes #LostObjects #TricksyBastards
