color photo of a woman in a pretty black dress sitting at a coffee shop table, cup before her. She's gazing pensively out a window, light on her face, maybe waiting for someone who's late. Mustard yellow wall behind her and a portion of a large painting of a forest, the corner of the frame pointing directly at her like an arrow.

As the great Rod Stewart taught us, every picture tells a story, don't it?

Among other things, in this one, where's she going?

#ColoraDay #RedWed #urbangaze #streetphotography #Lyon #boules
Park in Lyon, France, backdrop of storefronts, several people watching a boules match, and a little girl in red headed determinedly somewhere; far behind, we learned, was her dad in a striped red/black sweater, coming to retrieve her. We were glad to see she'd been found!

Improved advice scrawled on a men's room wall in a Chicago blues bar.

#RedWed #ColoraDay #TagTuesday #graffiti #photography
Red wall (in a blues club men's room) with graffiti words scratched into it. One reads BE WITH SOMEONE THAT MAKES YOU HAPPY. Someone else then x-ed out the word WITH. I approve of the improvement.
