I was photographing it when he came in to say the artwork needed some shadows. After he was done I couldn’t tell where he put the shadows. I don’t have the artist’s eye, I’m afraid.
I wonder if they were all friends and the others chose to take a break instead of work.
These were taken from Albany Bulb. I had posted about my visit to the park last year, here.
Can someone tell me what the name of this plant is? It’s popular with the butterflies and hummingbirds.
Close up view. I also saw this in pink color.
For this week’s combined themes, I again went to the oldies folder and pulled out these shots. If you are with me and my blogs for years, you’d probably seen these shots. I beg your indulgence then. However, these photos fit the combined theme so perfectly.
Children and children at heart scoop water by their bare hands and hurl it at each other for an impromptu water fight.
While this child thought he could scoop out baby fishies by way of this empty water bottle.
Shots were from a family camping trip at Cabin 4 1/2 by Kings River, July 2007.

I’m quite sure – just like me – these tourists are not only enjoying the sight of the ruins, but are also soaking in the lovely cloudscape overhead. From the oldies folder. Yucatan Peninsula. June 2010.
SKYWATCH is a weekly gathering of sky lovers and sky watchers. Join us.
Fairs and festivals are goldmine for signs. For today, I’m showing you a few of the signs I’ve seen at the 2011 Eat Real Festival in Jack London Square in Oakland, CA.
So many reasons to love the City by the Bay. The views from the hills to the bay are nonpareil; the foodscene is delicious and the variety is extensive; the many outdoor spaces are available when the sun decides to shine; the different neighborhoods that feature different cultures and of course the friendly and quirky citizens who call this gorgeous city home.
On our 2009 trip to NYC, we took the subway everywhere we went. One day we decided to just ride the subway and take random stops. We stopped near Central Park, the subway stop was 81st Street, I believe. That’s where I took these tiled murals.
When travelling in a foreign land, my rule is to try everything local and steer clear of American chain stores. However, the advertising of McDonalds in Barcelona would zap one’s resolve to stay away from anything American and try if their version of your Micky D coffee is the same as the ones they offer in Barcelona.
For the record, I did go in the store for a little iced tea :). The ones they serve stateside is far sweeter than the iced tea they offer in Barcelona.
