Value of things
There is an illustrator who is more comfortable working on cheap paper as it does not come with the pressure of having to do it all perfect. Artists of olden times were at home working with valuable medium, either they were too skilled or there was too much raw material at their disposal.
Reading that crows and bowerbirds collect pretty things reminds me of a story in a book we read in elementary school.

But there are many differences between the two species (crows and ravens), and if we can train ourselves to move beyond our overreliance on color in the identification of birds(as with most other things),it becomes clear that not all the differences are subtle ones.

Building conservation
Has a building been built with future erosion in mind? Like how cup cakes are not filled with batter to the brim accounting for overflow. Will the pillars have to bulge out to look perfectly cynlindrical later on? When is that time? Dear Mr. Keats was your thing of beauty so from the moment you saw it and did it last long? Did the joy outlast the thing?

Staff at store
It should be easy to find brown sugar
in the same aisle as sugar
but golden brown sugar,
light brown sugar
dark brown sugar
Which of these is the
real brown sugar?
The lady in the blue walking
the aisle knew what goes
into a cake pineapple upside down
