Two tasty beverages in fabulous ceramic cups. Afternoon pickup and conversation.
A latte and a Stella
My view while enjoying my latte in Old City. A scooter named Stella
Coffee and Biscotti before everything.
A great cup of Java and a so so biscotti.
But the start to a terrific day. This was at Reading Terminal Market in Philadelphia. A great place for locals and tourists. I got there early and it was busy with stand workers stocking and getting ready for the day. Always a pleasant time for sketching, thinking, and taking photos.
No Amish today.
Yesterday as always we got to the market before it began to fill with tourists. We try to have all our shopping done and have a coffee and tea before the lunch rush and crunch begins. Even in summer it can be impossible to find a chair. This visit we came when the Amish weren’t there. It’s a strange experience when their stalls are empty, they occupy such a large portion of the market.
I wandered past the empty spaces. This photo is the Dutch Eating Place where customers wait three deep for a stool to open up.
The garden can be a cruel mistress.
Packing up to leave our holiday weekend hosts I put down a bag and noticed Pierre’s gardening implements relaxing on the floor near the garden door. Well used tools and gloves with the smell of damp soil hovering above the gentle pile. Gardening in the city is a wonderful thing; small scale and every inch rewarding/
Extended Spring
Extended spring, vibrant green. It fabulous to walk philadelphia. This is a capture of the green extending itself across the city. This on my walk to work.
Philadelphia Skyline Moment
Early morning skyline. Experiencing every last window shape. Glass is not always that awesome as we’re told it is.
Spring is springing.
Walking to work. Lovely blooms showing themselves. It’s a great time to walk the city neighborhoods. Flowering trees are my faves. April is behaving more like March. I’m wearing fleece, gloves, and a scarf.
Spring shadows, walking philadelphia
Wandering on my walk to work. Many trees still free of leaves casting glorious shadows — architecture overlaid upon architecture. I’m always overjoyed at the opportunities to capture a frame, a moment, a glance of the light play at different times of day.
