UPDATE and someone else enjoying yesterday's great weather

UPDATE: I'm sort of surprised that I don't have as much pain in my knees or peripheral neuropathy as I've had after the first three rounds of chemo. I don't know if it's slower hitting me or less than before. Time will tell. I don't feel like doing much, but there's less pain which is OK with me.



Yesterday while taking photos of Forest for the Trees 2015 murals, I noticed this man on in-line skates tootling along with his two dogs on leashes. Intrigued, I had to take a few photos. The three of them moved so quickly that I only managed to get one that showed the man's skates and each dog completely. I cropped it so that you could see it better, plus I added some fill light at BeFunky dot com. You can tell from the man's billowing jacket that they were going along at a good clip.

For me, Zipcar fun meant winning on the wheel when spun!

I spun the wheel, and I liked it! 'Cause I won $10 in Zipcar driving credit. Then I got to come home and have even more fun playing around with this photo at BeFunky.

Pondering, seen on Trimet

  Picture this. I'm sitting on the bus when across the aisle I see these two women, looking similar in visage and clothing, with a good 40 years' difference in their ages. Whatever could they be pondering? Oh, I want to take a picture so bad! Should I chance it? Yes! I pretend that I'm just looking at my iPhone and take one photo.

Altered at BeFunky dot come, enhanced detail and HDR.

What's your favorite part of which photo, please? For me, it's the lady on the right's cheek in the top photo. I love the impact of the BeFunky dot come special effect underpainting.

The unaltered photo shall remain unposted.

Folks among the flowers, No. 6

While I can't be sure of it, I believe it was something he said that led to the joyous smile and throwing back of her head in full-tilt-boogie laughter which you see there on the face of the woman with her hand on the stroller. I mean the man in the bee hat, of course. See the next photo for what I consider a great big ol' clue.
 

The reason I think that is how he's acting here in the second photo which isn't very good, but after all, I did take it on the fly so to speak, from my seat in a shuttle which transported folks from their vehicles and/or around the tulip fields. You do see his bunny ears, the man in the bee hat, right? Do you think he could have said something that made that woman laugh out loud?

 And how about the couple in what I would call Dutch costumes? Cool sight to see, there among the tulips.

Look! Look! Look! BeFunky dot com!
