And, this little girl was delighted that her jump scared away a flock of pigeons.
That's a great picture of the child and the birds :)

these are all so great! seriously! i wanted to thank you so much for the cemetery photos! they are beautiful. i'd love to go there in person one day! thank you again :)
ReplyDeleteWow, that last photo is just fabulous!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! I especially like that last one. To answer your question about the war memorial on my blog, it's hard to see, but if you enlarge the third shot, the date reads April 26, 1884 at the bottom. I think it is just very well maintained or might have been restored at one point.
ReplyDeleteGreat photography as usual. I'm always amazed at how you capture life happening. Really great to watch every time!

Great shots Jack!
ReplyDeleteThey're all great but the last photo really caught my attention. It's fantastic!
ReplyDeleteYou are such a great people-watcher, Jack. Your last shot with the pigeons is fantastic! The first shot could be on Eglinton in Toronto.
ReplyDeleteThumbs up for Charles. He's looking good. But the joy on the little girl's face is really special.
ReplyDeleteI do agree with Halcyon, Jack, you are indeed a great people-watcher AND photographer!! These are terrific and that happy little girl is definitely a winner! Thanks for the smiles to start the day!!
ReplyDeleteI like the way Charles thinks Jack :) Fabulous feeling of fun in the last shot.
ReplyDeleteFine street photography. Love the last shot of the delighted little girl and the pigeons taking flight.

ReplyDeleteThe girl's expression is marvelous in that last shot!
ReplyDeleteo wow!
ReplyDeleteespecially that last photo is so great!! really cute
I agree that last photo is superb. How did you manage to persuade the birds to leave a space to frame her face?
ReplyDeleteThat last photo is a real winner.
ReplyDeleteI'll add to the chorus of "great last shot" comments.
ReplyDeleteGreat street shots. Love the sign in the first pic. It says something about how America is evolving.
ReplyDeleteBombed at work since we got home. Trying to get back in the flow.
This last shot is marvellous !
ReplyDeleteThe food market has a wide variety of inventory. Great final photo.
