Elgin Avenue, 20th May 2011

I was tempted to add a new category, "binned", but decided against it. I was waiting for a bus when this appeared from nowhere and bobbled around the feet of my fellow commuters. I tried a snap but it was eclipsed by a lady's legs, before being picked up by an elderly gent with white hair, a beige suit and a drinker's hands. I first thought he was going to crush it, but instead he merely picked it from the paving and placed it in the bin. Or tried - at first it bounced off the rim and rebounded to his chin, but his second attempt with no more malice saw it in place. I snuck around the back of the bus shelter and snapped it just as my 31 arrived.
