I like the white patches on this pigeon’s head and face.

Ruby Tuesday: Emergency Call Box

I’m not sure what this is called — A ~~fire box~~? ~~A red box~~? An emergency box? Yeah, that’s it! I think that’s what it’s called — an emergency call box. I wonder if it works. I’ve seen very few around the city but have never paid much attention to them, till… Ruby Tuesday.

Visit WORK OF THE POET to see a list of fun Ruby Tuesday posts. Happy Ruby Tuesday, all!

Today’s Flowers: Sunflowers

I passed by a house in the Bronx and to my surprise saw sunflowers in the front yard growing over six feet tall. They were very impressive-looking. Sunflowers are my favorite.

On another note, Sonia of LEAVES OF GRASS is celebrating her third-year blog anniversary this Monday. Congratulations, Sonia, what a wonderful blog you have! Let’s stop by and wish her well.

Shadow Shot Sunday: I See Shadows

September 27, 2008 | Filed Under Photo Blogging Theme Day, Self-Portrait, Shadow Shot Sunday, Shadows | 31 Comments

Here’s another self-portrait. I’d just bought a pair of nice black shoes and was walking back home. I was happy about my new shoes. Unfortunately, during the week, when I wore them, I discovered that after a few hours, my feet really hurt. I’m not sure what the problem is. Perhaps the shoes are too narrow? I don’t know. They were very comfortable when I tried them on in the store. *sigh* In this photo, I was wearing my crocs.

Joanne: I’m so glad you’re doing much better! I wish you a speedy recovery and can’t wait to see what you blog about next! xoxo If you stop by her blog, be sure to leave her a get well wish.
