Wedding Glow Sticks
When we got home Saturday night after a fun wedding reception, I saw the glow sticks still aglow.
You reflect on the celebration with dear friends, sharing the joy, the wonderful live music and delicious food.
Happy wedding Michelle snd Sean.

Reverse order save last one but blogging from phone and it seems too difficult to get them in chronological order now. 4-3-3-1-5
Mary added an empty frame on top of window
And getting ready for bed after a long day on the train I saw this view
The holiday has begun.

City Snippets Puddle Study
Along Grant Street, downtown Pittsburgh, after being released from jury duty. You know how I like reflections.
I walked a few blocks to the train station to meet Steve who was picking me up.
There must have been a lot of rain while I was inside the courthouse all day.

Freeport Road in Aspinwall. All traffic stopped. No young geese splatted on this busy road today. Goose is such a funny word.

On Top of the World
The city of Pittsburgh’s Mt. Washington (elevation 6,289) just before sunset, Monday evening.
Inspired by the Weekly Photo Challenge
and a big nod to Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen sculpture Spoonbridge and Cherry in Minneapolis, Minnesota at the sculpture garden- Walker Art Center The spoon weighs 5,800 pounds the cherry 1,200 pounds. I saw this sculpture when we visited Matthew when he was a student at Macalester College in St. Paul. It came to mind when I was thinking about photographing a cherry on top for the weekly photo challenge.
And the cell phone shots below to compare which I thought looked better than the good camera.
Cherry on a spike and one of my gray hairs and the Duquesne Incline
Without the spoon, the city in focus
Cherry on Top, Literally
A Rainier cherry on top of Ted the bear’s head.
