big foot

Time for another shadow picture of me on play equipment. I found two things: a bakery and a small farmer's market. Both are on East street and 2nd or thereabouts. The market materializes like Brigadoon on Thursdays at 3 pm and then fades back into the mist a short while later. The bakery bakes stuff but I have not been in there yet to see what exactly. The guy who owns it (the baker, I'm guessing) is said to be a heroic holdout to the forces of evil that endeavor to gentrify Shab Row. I guess it used to be quirky and welcoming and is now all hoity toity with it's high rents and kicking out of the common people. Then again, some folks say it used to be dirty and dangerous but, that was before my time. Said baker certainly benefits from the increased foot traffic so, who the hell knows. I'll go for a loaf of bread later and report back with my findings. Have a sunny Sunday!

shed shadow

I've decided to get rid of my couch. It rarely gets sat upon and it's taking up space that can otherwise be occupied by a work surface of some sort. Plus, the upholstery fabric of it is like nails on the blackboard of my brain so I cover it's hideousness with a blanket. Out it goes. This picture has nothing to do with the couch. In fact, you can't even see the shed from the couch. Happy Monday!

when the lights go down in the city

Early evening in lucky town affords many a fine picture snapping opportunity. The majority of facades are downright sculptural and brightly painted to boot. There is a certain point at which golden light filters through the trees and is nothing short of magical. These are pictures that I took upon my arrival in lucky town last year. My block, though lovely, is less grand and better described as quirky. It deserves it's own post. As do the small mosaic tiles embedded in the brick path down by the creek. Be that as it may, I wish you a super trooper day wherever it is you're spending it! When the lights go down in your city, fire up a sparkler and write the word "lucky" in the night sky.

monkey bars

I am a fan of the monkey bars. Today I took an early morning tour of town and found four monkey bars I was not previously aware of. Pictures were taken from the top of each. Then there's the stuff you just hang from: camera in one hand, hang from the other. All sorts of fun was had by me early in the morning.
