GOTH GIRL

 She fascinated me. She may not be in true Goth fashion, but her skateboarding partner was more so. He conked out about five minutes into the bus ride. This is a phone shot. I pretended I was using my phone as a mirror to pick something out of my teeth....and then click.

THEY GROW AMONG US

 Whenever I see LICHENS, I think of all those 1950-era science fiction films where some strange but unassuming life form settles on Earth and eventually wreaks havoc among Earthlings. I imagine I have watched too many sci-fi films, but no regrets.  I'll check back on these lichens to see if they're up to anything.

NO LAUNDRY NEEDED

 This clothespin will never see a clothesline. It is actually a full-size, three-seater bench in a nearby shopping center. 

BOSS LADY?

 From time to time I stop at this small restaurant/café to have a cup of coffee, a small ice cream, or when hungry,  some CEVAPI. I see this woman more often than not, and imagine she may be the owner or manager since she is often engaged in what appear to be instructive conversations with the staff.

IT'S DRY

Hot and dry. Leaves on the ground crunch when you walk through them and it seems the green ones are hanging on for dear life.
 

THREE ON A BENCH--BASTILLE DAY

 I took this photo around 1972 in Paris. Three people sitting on a bench below Ile-Saint-Louis. I often wonder what lives this people led, for most likely they are no longer with us.

Posted this because it is Bastille Day today.

WAITING FOR THE #71

 I take the #71 bus directly home from downtown. There was another that left from the same place, but it's summer and roads are being repaired and buses rerouted.

This is a hip shot of a fellow who was waiting as well.

NOTHING ORIGINAL

Another moon....every time I see a full moon, I have to photograph it. I am undoubtedly addicted to making cliché -d shots. I am fairly certain many of you saw the same moon, no matter where you are.

OVERNIGHT

 We have recently had a LOT of rain, so it's not surprising mushrooms have popped up. I should have added something for scale, but each was about the size of a salad plate.  However, you won't find them on any salad or dinner plate of mine. Or soup bowl! 😜 

EYE-CATCHING

 I wonder if cherry red is the most eye-catching color. I have a feeling it just might be.

MOTHER-IN-LAW'S TONGUE

 Sansevieria is otherwise known by the less attractive names of snake plant or mother-in-law's tongue.  I am not good with plants and only cacti, ivy, and succulents seem to do reasonably well for me. I receved the top plant for my birthday in February and have watered it very infrequently. The bottom one was recently given to me by a friend. Big boys!  I have joined a Facegroup page called Snake Plant Society (there's literally a group for everything on FB). I hope these continue to thrive.
