Ok, let me tell you about my own backyard...its ridiculous. Thank god that yard is in the back because it is neglected and ugly. Last January, my husband set up a trampoline while I was away for the weekend. Unfortunately, he chose to do this literally, two feet from the backdoor. You open the door, step outside and bump into this gigantic eye sore of entertainment. I was not happy.
But the kids are on it every single day and interesting things happen on a trampoline. Static electricity, toys that do cool things when they are bounced, acorns and leaves that fall from the surrounding trees, somebody decides to nap on the warm sprawling space.
So occasionally I grab my camera and shoot...not knowing how or if any of it fits in my working projects. Then I got my big idea. I'm going to collect everything I shoot on, over, under, around the trampoline and call this series "Tramp Art." I don't have enough keepers yet to put the gallery up on my site but I'm excited about it and I'm calling Dibbs.

Yes! One of my recent favorites was from under the neighbor's tramp: http://andherheadpoppedoff.com/2009/08/in-like-measure/
I totally pissed myself off when I told the kids they were not allowed back on it for the rest of the summer (after a net-tearing incident).
