For #ForestFriday, these 3 #bears, Appalachian Trail near Bluemont #Virginia.

#folkart #woodart #trees #reliefsculpture #hiking
rough relief sculpture carved into a dead tree of a bear cub climbing the tree and looking down a little scared. Adorable. A shot of the whole relief showing Mama Bear, the other cub at her feet, and the cub shown in closeup on the other photo just visible around the back of the tree trunk. Autumn scene, bare trees and yellow leaves.

#Nashville coffee shop.

#HumansofBlueSky #urbangaze #photography #Tennessee #candidcamera #streetphotography
color photo of a woman in a pretty black dress sitting at a coffee shop table, cup before her. She's gazing pensively out a window, light on her face, maybe waiting for someone who's late. Mustard yellow wall behind her and a portion of a large painting of a forest, the corner of the frame pointing directly at her like an arrow.

As the great Rod Stewart taught us, every picture tells a story, don't it?

Among other things, in this one, where's she going?

#ColoraDay #RedWed #urbangaze #streetphotography #Lyon #boules
Park in Lyon, France, backdrop of storefronts, several people watching a boules match, and a little girl in red headed determinedly somewhere; far behind, we learned, was her dad in a striped red/black sweater, coming to retrieve her. We were glad to see she'd been found!
