Sometimes
The one thing that doesn’t belong
Somehow
Makes the whole thing better

Normally, a few swipes of the rubber stamp tool and I’d take that orange cone out. In fact, I did just that with Brooding Monochrome for, well, reasons which should be obvious from the title. <grin>

I was tempted to repeat that here, but there was something decidedly odd-ball charming about that one bright orange thing in a scene of moody monotone — so completely out of place, and yet… it belongs.

So, here’s one for Cee’s Odd Ball Photo Challenge.

And, yes, all of this is a metaphor for appreciating diversity, for loving the outlier, for being unafraid to be the Odd Ball.
