7 May 2014: Witches' Knickers

Witches' knickers is what the Irish call those raggedy plastic
 bags that snare in the branches of trees, waving in the breeze 
for all eternity. This particular example juxtaposes strangely 
with the beautiful blossoms on this flowering pear tree.
Once Chicago's plastic bag ban goes into effect next year, i 
guess the witches will have to start buying their knickers 
from Victoria's Secret like everybody else.
