5. I had a tough choice, cute girls or a busker. I went with the busker

but here are the little girls I didn't pick. I hope it doesn't damage their self-esteem. I liked the composition of the busker image, his bowing, and thumb position. They guy was a real professional.

There was a Cinderella day downtown. It was frightening, but there was also a wine tasting, so I was able to weather the storm.

The girl in yellow kept holding her purse out at arm's length. Her mother kept telling her to keep her hands down. It didn't work. Finally I told the girl how much I liked the color of the purse up against the dress, she looked at them together and kept her hands down. Nobody listens to their mothers, especially Cinderella.

8. Adorable, Alfredo! Girls, photo and story....N/T

9. It was a good day. I am cooking up what I bought right now. I'm roasting

some fingerling potatoes, zucchini, red onion, okra, garlic, carrots, and some of my home grown Jalapenos.

The hardest part of photographing them was catching them when they were not squinting.

I should have made a movie of the violinist. He was the best I've heard in this town.

13. Great photo! But...

...shouldn't he have been playing clarinet?

[alfredo]

15. He would have to comb his hair if he did.

[alfredo]

20. I missed your reference, even though I was referencing the same song.

Clarinet players, unlike violin players, don't have the wild man reputation. You never heard of a clarinet player selling his soul to the devil, though there are a few Klezmer players that might have entered into an understanding.

[Mira]

21. Thanks for explaining. Not understanding was eating away at me....Great song and delivery.

[alfredo]

22. I'm a fan of hers too. I even went into the bar in Boulder Colorado where

she used to drink, just to drink at her watering hole.

[alfredo]

23. By the way, here is a potato I bought and presented to my wife.

Near original size



I roasted it, and presented to her cooked. She didn't want to hog the whole thing so she cut it in half and we shared it.

30. Love the title you chose

for your busker's photo. One of my favorite Joni songs. :hi:

[alfredo]

31. She's quite an artist, and an inspiration for many.

[Mira]

6. The more I look at it the more I like Cassandra's photo

I know they are only similar, but the feel is the same, here is Seurat "Sunday afternoon"

[Mz Pip]

7. I like it too.

Central Park I think. Very calming to look at.

[Cassandra]

11. Sunday in the Park Without George...

Doesn't quite have the elegance, or the water.

The other shot is also Central Park, near the Boathouse.
I was looking for something that felt sultry, although it wasn't that hot that day.

[Mira]

12. Very great! Thank you for that. You have a fascinating city to live in. N/T

[Cassandra]

17. I love your green bug...

with the lavender eyes and trim. The color is really fascinating.

[alfredo]

10. Mz PIP, the colors knock my eyes out. Very good.

[Mz Pip]

28. Thanks!

Had a good day of shooting in the wine country on Friday. And some good tasting, too. ;-)

[alfredo]

32. I'm eating some goat cheese I picked up from my trip to the farmer's mkt.

I am eating some Caciotta al Erbe Alpina.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

[alfredo]

25. I might change mine to black and white

[dixiegrrrrl]

27. Mira made me enter one.

She did. She forced me to do it.
There is no withstanding her determination.
So I caved.
Now I am in awe of all the other pics.

[Mira]

29. Never to go back to your original dimension.......Welcome Dixiegrrrrl !

[dixiegrrrrl]

I had to look at it several times to see where the water line was.

[Dinger]
