SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY---the chair and the glass

Just what the caption says. At a cafe where I enjoyed a beer with a friend.

THE WEEKEND IN BLACK AND WHITE

 An early morning conversation before the heat of the day.

SKYWATCH--THE SPORTS ARENA

 A view from my son's terrace of the sports arena nearby.

DID YOU SEE ME?

 Last day of pup-sitting and soon will be able to roam the downtown city streets again.  Another early-evening shot from my son's terrace.  He's on the 7th floor and I used my 250mm lens, furtively, I thought, until I enlarged the photo.

BOKEH

 Still here dog-sitting and a bit photo-compromised, since haven't really been out with my camera.

But I have been  on my son's terrace where his wife has planters of geraniums.

Fiddling with bokeh effect with Nikon 16-55mm lens on my Z50.

MONDAY MURALS--BEGINNER MURAL!

 This pales in comparison to most murals, but I liked it because it seems like it's by a mural artist in-training. ;)

DAPPER

 It was hot the other evening and I treated myself to an ice cream....  At the table next to me was this elderly gentleman. His shirt first attracted me to take a furtive phone shot. When I enlarged it at home, I see that he was a very meticulous person:  toenails and fingernails neatly trimmed, a 'surgeon's hands,' leather pouch, comfty sandals, looks like some meds or vitamins, and a black leather wallet.

Who's he texting to?

LEAPIN' LIGHTS!

 Dogsitting and got a bit bored, since my duties don't give me much time for photos. Took this off my son's terrace last night. I knew there would be movement, but was just playing around.

Kind of like the leaping lights!

OBLIVIOUS

 I was working at my second-favorite cafe the other morning and since I always have my faithful camera with me,  I sneaked a photo of the couple at the next table. I am thankful for my very silent shutter and discreet tilting screen....

NEGLECTED AND CARED FOR

 I took this photo because I liked the colors and arrangement. I sent it to an artist friend who sometimes uses my photos for inspiration.  She replied that she wondered what the story was behind these blooming potted plants, and the shabby window and neglected facade. Now I do, too.

FEET MEET

 Looks like a lot of young feet, too. Probably discussing where they're going to go on a hot summer evening.
