This is spring in my neighborhood.





Edited to add:
I just realized that this is the same photo that I've taken the past few springs. I guess these trees just evoke spring to me.

Seen in the middle of Walnut St. (between 12th and 13th) at 5:30 pm. Everyone is dancing to the song "Run Around Sue."

I love this city!

I saw this as I was zooming by in a cab. I'll have to take a walk by some time after work to adequately capture the art deco amazingness of the facade.

This is the Phanatic bobblehead giveaway from Stitch n Pitch last week. Many, many thanks to JK and JM for picking him up for me since I couldn't go!



















BTW, please note that he's knitting!

Phanatic Around Town, Citizens Bank Park & Piazza at Schmidts in Northern Liberties

I took both of these photos a long time ago and somehow forgot to post.

The one at the ballpark is behind glass, so there's a little bit of a glare.

At CBP...




















...and at the Piazza.




















 Just 6 more to go. I'll be able to bust out 5 at the same time, though, since they're all in the same vicinity.

Photos of the Day, 7/31/2010

Cuteness squared! I spent the day visiting my adorable goddaughter K and her baby sister S. They are both such hams! A special bonus is that I just happened to be there when S started taking her first steps (using K's toy stroller as a support)! It was amazing watching her discover her new skills!

And K is so very funny. She manages to sort of make jokes (in the way that only a 2 year old can do!) and crack herself up. She can also get her way by just smiling, which cracked us grownups up.

Anyway, they're both so sweet, funny, loving, unique, and full of personality, and I'm beyond happy that I could spend the day with them!

More Phanatic Around Town, Philadelphia International Airport

I've had these photos for a couple of weeks, but I hadn't gotten around to posting them. Many thanks to Jaime and Tara who were kind enough to photograph the Phanatic (separately), since it was inside the concourse. Without further ado...
