FROMAGE DE TÊTE

 France is know for many culinary delights, including cheeses. Above is fromage de tête, BUT surprise! It is NOT  a cheese and contains no dairy products. It is made from the head of a calf or a pig and set in aspic. Very tasty... Though I do have objections to its sources. 

Happy Passenger

 I am in Lyon! This fellow, apparently delighted by what he was reading, was traveling like me from St. Exupéry Airport to downtown Lyon. 

GARDOS TOWER

 I rather liked this image of the GARDOS TOWER seen through some very modern lights at a nearby cafe.

ANOTHER DOG

 

I was hurrying to my bus the other afternoon and almost missed this little fellow. I backtracked a bit and got him!  Got the bus, too....

A-1 DOG

 This street dog probably feels like an A-1 top dog with his own house and food bowls. Little does he know that A-1 is a mobile network operator.

WAITING FOR HER DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT

 This lady opted to wait outside the clinic in nicer weather. Not so much a nicer seat though!

DEATH TO FASCISM

 That's what the words in red mean. I don't think the cat wrote those words, but I am sure he agrees. He has a duplex, too; class.

QUINCES

 There is an eyeglass shop downtown that creates beautiful window displays. I cropped out the eyeglasses here to show these lovely quinces. Quinces are an ancient fruit (3,000-5,000 years old, and come from near the Caspian Sea in Iran. All that still doesn't make me a fan of whatever one makes of them; I've tried.  But they're great for photos.

REFLECTIONS IN A PUDDLE

 I have a new lens, a Viltrox 9mm 2.8. Took a test run the other day through raindrops and will do more today. Because it is such a wide angle, it lets you get really close to the subject with minimal distortion with 'flatter' subjects like this puddle. You can see that the camera focused on everything,  not just the reflections, so all is clear. I am happy with it so far.

JUST A LOVELY BLUE DOOR

 Just a lovely blue door in Zemun, near Belgrade. Not sure the amchors indicate the home belonged to a fisherman, but maybe. Zemun lies along the Danube.

NO FEAR OF HEIGHTS

 Defnitely not a job for me. I just wonder how much they get paid.
