The child may have may have become bored, tired, of this toy, or simply out grew it, and just decided to toss it ,when nobody wasn't looking ?

Certainly possible. Any of those.

Dog toy I bet. Look in the background...

Could be - though those are mine, and it isn't theirs. Pretty sure this is a kid thing.

You really do have a lot of extra time on your hands, these days

I've been thinking about this whole series a bit. It's certainly worth pursuing but it's not easy to pull off. Mystery has to enter into it, I think, but that's a personal thing; what's mysterious to me may easily be banal to you. Two examples come to mind immediately, but they are both from cinema: a successful one for me was the shopping cart at the end of the runway in Win Wenders' film, The State of Things. I thought it was haunting and surrealistic. On the other hand, the floating plastic bag in Sam Mendes' film American Beauty was a devastating satire of the whole genre.

I'm afraid I find this one closer to the plastic bag. There is nothing incongruous about the image. We don't get any sense that the object (whatever it is) is out of place. It's just a closeup of a piece of plastic in a nice, bucolic setting. So?

Some of these found objects shots really need to be more interesting to work like the one with the TV on it's side and the message "free TV". This one to me is just a toy left behind by a kid who is probably crying that he lost his favorite toy. I'm more interested in what those two dogs are doing in the background.
