FRIDA KHALO DESATURATED

 Most people, including me, tend to think of FRIDA KAHLO in vivid colors. Here she shown in black and white, since I took this boutique shot from the street at night and the colors would not have done her justice.  

MONDAY MURALS---meaning?

 UPDATE:  I googled the address of this mural. It is dedicated to Gina Ranjicic, a Serbian gypsy poet (1830-1891).  The entire project including several other murals is dedicated to unrecognized women poets.

This is a beautiful mural, I think, but its meaning is lost on me. Two women, a bandaged hand, a striking cover of some sort; what does it mean?  I may have to ask around.

In the meantime, see other murals on MONDAY MURALS.

SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY--my first photo

 I know I have posted this photo a long time ago. It hangs on my dining room wall and is the very first photo I ever took eons ago, in the days of only film, in Paris.

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS--THE READER....AND I.

 My walking buddy is always used to my calling out in just above a whisper, "Wait!  I see a photo."  This means I've spotted one not so very close to where we currently are. She holds my dog's leash and waits for me while I discreetly walk over to my 'victim'. Makes for a good Reflection Weekend shot.

SKYWATCH--yellow sky

 An eerie yellow sky looms behind a building downtown.

EASY TO BE KISSED

 Have you ever  been kissed or else kissed someone under the mistletoe? It would be fairly easy to do in this park, where bunches of mistletoe loom over people's heads.

Ever wonder where that tradition came from? I did, so I looked it up for you  RIGHT HERE.

Read the article and learn. I did....

WINDOW AT NIGHT

 A minimalist view...

EARLY A.M.

 Spent the night at my son's the the the other evening.  Slept on their comfy couch (really IS comfy) and this is my morning view.

WATERMELON...?

 It appears this mural was painted in 2019, but I hadn't seen it before. I guess I must have either walked down the street and it was behind me or else I have never walked on that street before at all.

In any case, I don't really understand why she's holding and just staring at the watermelon slices.

SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY--the red light

 The red light in the window is actually a reflection of the traffic light at the intersection below....

NEW HATS

 It's getting nippy, but I don't think these ladies were so concerned about a warm hat, but a stylish one.
