SJO-->ASU-->LIT I like to travel and take pictures. If I post it, I shot it. At least tied for title of world's most happily married man. When I'm home, it's in Arkansas. Lots of nice people here. Take our governor... please! My site: 5centsphotos.com

In the land of blue umbrellas, be a red one (but not politically; keep on being a blue umbrella). Rainy day in San Miguel de Allende, #Mexico #BlueSkyArtShow #Weather #photography
A covered walk in front of a building in Mexico. There are many people from foreground to background. It is raining, and people beyond the roof's cover are carrying umbrellas. Most of them are blue, but a red one can be seen in the distance. The stone pavers are wet.

It is a great spot. We wandered by several times.

And we went there, too (but not on a cold, dark night). I did, though, many years ago...

This is generally true for me with insects and arachnids. Took me a while to get there with the latter...

State Fair. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekNforNeon Several years ago, possible repost. #photography #arkansas
A nighttime shot from a state fair. To the right is a food stand advertising corn dogs, chicken on a stick, butterfly chips... A man and a younger man, possibly a teen, are standing at the window buying food. To the left and in the center, people are walking past rides with bright lights, including a Ferris wheel.

📷 "Oh, the streets of Rome, are filled with rubble, Ancient footprints are everywhere..." A little Rome #scape from Area Sacra di Largo Argentina, site of Caesar's assassination. #photography #Italy
A city block that has been excavated to show the Roman ruins in it. Several columns are standing, along with walls and rocks. Two old round buildings with tile roofs are to the left. Roman pine trees are on the edges. Beyond are multistory city buildings.

🪶 Atlantic Birding @atlanticbirding.bsky.social says today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Waders; any wading bird. This tri-colored heron says, "Hey, where did everyone go? No, I didn't make those bubbles!" Sorry 😂 #birds #photography
A heron is standing in water almost up to its body. The area is marshy, and no other birds are visible. It is turned away from us, facing slightly to our right. The water has bubbles in it, mostly behind the bird.

Eureka Springs, #Arkansas, for #AlphabetChallenge #WeekNForNeon #photography
An old sandstone building, two stories plus a domed attic with a window. It is dusk, and a vertical neon sign in red reads "Palace Hotel, Bath House, Vacancy."

🪶 #BlueWater is #BirdOfTheDay theme, so here is a common goldeneye showing why it is so named. #birds #photography
A duck swimming in profile to us, facing our right. Its back is light gray with some black lines, its head is green with a white patch by the bill, and its eye is yellow.

Dusk in Rome, Tiber River and St. Peter's Basilica. #WaterWednesday #Photography #Italy
The Tiber River is on the left, with lights visible on a bridge. The river is still, giving good reflections. To the right is a stone walk and wall containing the river, and further in the background, St. Peter's Basilica is visible, its lights shining.

🪶 The #BirdOfTheDay alt theme is #Perched, birds standing on anything except branches, per Alan/Rob. This hooded crow chose the roof of a car. #birds #photography
A crow with gray breast and back, black elsewhere, is on the roof of a car, standing in profile facing our right, but looking towards the camera. More cars are parked in the background.

I'm glad it went well (though I had no doubt it would). By the way, I thought of you (or your friend, anyway) in La Spezzia, Italy, when I saw this shop.

jon5cents @jon5cents.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
Yes, they do. I wish they had had some information about them. I think the big mouth may have been part of a fountain.

jon5cents @jon5cents.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
There was no explanation that I saw, but that one looked like it belonged with a fountain. And I think both of them hold their own. Thanks!

A tufted titmouse on a winter branch in snow. Its feathers are fluffed for warmth. Its body is turned a bit to our left, but its head is to our right.

For #Twosday, a couple of shots from the Vatican (finally getting to my camera pictures). Couldn't decide which focus I liked more, so I'll post both. #TextureTuesday #photography
A statue in the foreground is in sharp focus, a face and upper body in profile. In the background a strange looking head with a large opening for a mouth, as if made for a fountain, is set higher and seems to be looking at the first statue.A statue in the foreground is a bit out of focus, a face and upper body in profile.
