forgotten...

i carried my summer clothes to the basement of my building on a brilliant friday afternoon. autumn light is something not to be missed, especially when it is lighting up forgotten items in the corners.

10.10.10

i participated in a flickr group that asked you to document where you were on october 10, 2010. after posting to the site, i thought i'd share with you.

do you remember where you were or what you were doing? it's not like where were you when they walked on the moon, but participating reminded me to try to be present daily, not just on a nifty date.

our day.... started with me hanging out the window taking pictures of tower grove park. i love that my boyfriend drives a lot so i get to look around and enjoy the world.

our first stop of the day was at schnucks grocery where i was immediately smitten by a giant display of halloween captain crunch. ohhhh i wanted some so much!!

next we stopped at Petsmart for Chopper goodies and i met Felix the cat... i really want another kitty. 


















a quick hello to the birdies.

before we pick up our lunch, i need a pumpkin latte. tis the season and all. 

on our way into Jimmy Johns, i spotted these murals and had to photograph them.

Gotta get us home in time for kick off! Can't be late for the RAMS game!

with the game over, it's time to walk Chopper. here are some shots from around the neighborhood...

 

last shot of the evening... it was a wonderful day! maybe we can do this next year on 11.11.11?

the weekend 40/64 opened, we all went out to play in the street. we grabbed our friends, our skateboards, our bikes, our inlines, our big wheels and flyer wagons. it was cold. oh, so very cold, but nothing. nothing could stop us from playing in the brand new highway!

pLAy is the theme for nablopomo this october!! i've decided to share with you my captures of people at play... both above and below the voting age.

i love october and i think this is an excellent way to share my enthusiasm for the next 744 hours.

let's start with bubbles, shall we?

happy fall people!!

city diner on grand

i was going to take a street photography workshop, but was sadly unable. there was a preassignment, which i did, though i never turned in. these are a few of my shots from out front the new city diner location on grand. i just love this graphic.

dinner with friends

several friends gathered for dinner at alison and justin's new place. alison made a family recipe BBQ, a steaming hot chicken pot pie, and three cheese, bacon bread. we all brought dishes to compliment and a feast was born. for desert, alison made a chocolate cake with a warm chocolate ganache. it was a lovely evening full of laughter and wonderful flavours.

Alison and Justin

meet Alison and Justin... they met on a kickball field, he proposed on a kickball field, and we felt that a kickball should be a part of the shoot.

we met on what may have been one of the hottest evenings of the year in a secret garden in tower grove park--at least it was a secret to me! they didn't care about the heat, and oh, what fun we had!
