Shadow shot of a row of flower boxes. To see the flowers, go here (By the way, can anyone tell me the name of the flowers, please?).

Check out Hey Harriet for a collection of creative shadow shot entries by others, as well as the guidelines to participate.

Ed. Note: I’m told the flowers are called Impatiens. Thanks, Lily!

A View from the Bus

This bus is going from the West side to the East side of Manhattan, across Central Park. Sitting in the front of the bus, I see what the bus driver sees. Good thing there isn’t any traffic.

Happy weekend, all!

Ed. Note: For those curious or concerned, I was sitting up front in the bus when I took this photo. It wouldn’t be a smart thing to stand and take photos in a moving city bus. If the bus made a sudden stop (which happens often), I could see myself lunging forward towards the windshield. Wouldn’t want that.

Also, while the bus is in motion, there’s a white line on the floor of the bus, away from the front area, behind which passengers are instructed to stand (Note the ‘Danger’ sign in the photo.). It’s a way to prevent accidents on the bus or serious injuries in case there’s an accident. I’ve been on a bus on different occasions, where the bus driver will refuse to continue driving if a passenger refuses to move behind the white line.
