Stand out

At the bus stop tonight: A woman in 4 inch fuchsia heels, matching her fuchsia hair. She has a barcode tattoo in her arm, a long sentence tattooed along the back of her leg, and is carrying a giant lion's head backpack!

Social media friendships

A young man is drawing, despite the many bumps in the road. Suddenly, a blue haired girl sits beside him. After a quick chat about life drawings and the minutiae of drawing hands, she asks for his name, finds him on Facebook, and leaves. And, just like that, a new friendship is formed.

Modern Romance

A couple is sitting together, she has her head on his shoulder, their arms are entwined... and yet, they're both looking at their iPhones, lost in their own virtual worlds.

Knitting

A man is knitting. It looks like he might've knitted the tuque he's wearing as well. Cosy.

Corn off the cob

November 2

What's left of a cob of corn, just lying there next to my seat. Now I'm picturing someone eating corn on the cob on the bus, maybe with a bit of salt and butter?

Oblivious

October 30

Two men are having a relaxed discussion from one end of the bus to the other, as though they were sitting, alone, in their living room, breaking the unspoken rule of etiquette that we must be quiet and discreet while on the bus. Meanwhile, in true anglo-saxon fashion, everyone else is acting as though this wasn't happening at all.
