    Hoops, indeed!

    Bet if someone added Pollock's signature to the second one...

    Love the Camel from the Lost Caravan too. But my fave has got to be the pavement marking on the Nyack one - as in: splat! oops! bam! oops! crash! oops! whaaa...t day is this?

    Have a nice, quiet, spillfree day, letty? maybe?

    I love the tie in of the Heinz Hoops to the W(hoops) theme. Couldn't be more perfect.

    That middle paint splotch looks like a man leading a camel.

    Re the third photo: "'Tis very like a camel".

    Makes me want to come cross a fresh one and improve it, although I guess that's not practical in the roadway.

    These are wonderful.

    And I saw a camel too! It's like a Rorschach.

    I like how the hoops on the sidewalk in the right top of the photo look like a smile. Fun take on theme.

    Glad you didn't have a photo of a man or woman who'd had an "oops" on a high building, and then landed on the pavement...

    And I, too, saw a man leading a camel.

    Enjoyed these very much letty! My favorite is the whoops hoops. Yummy ...

    Hope all is going better now?

    The third whoops definitely looks like a headless camel!

    I wonder what happened on the last one - I hope whoever was painting the line hadn't had a heart attack or something! :0

    haha....

    a different take on losing one's lunch! whoops! don't remember seeing those pasta hoops before.... they look just like the spaghettios....I can't believe how I actually craved them as a child, obviously the power of subversive advertising!

    The hoops pic made me laugh. I do remember that last splodge, but the camel is quite nice! sneakers too.

    I love the Nyack shot that is a fairly permanent reminder that someone screwed up bigtime!
