In Tower Grove Park, my favorite in St. Louis. It is laid out like an old-fashioned English walking park. There are many old, fancy pavilions available to rent. This one, called the Turkish Pavilion, is the largest.

CITY DAILY PHOTO APRIL THEME DAY - SYMMETRY
Well, in this town there is one symmetrical object that rules them all. I bet some of you guessed what I would post for this theme.
Our Tale of Two Cities tour really gets rolling today. The activities are likely to include tacos, a cartoonist named Walt and and a solemn mass.

CDP Theme Day: Shy Self Portrait (Parts 1 and 2)
It's the first of the month and City Daily Photo bloggers are challenged to come up with images for theme day. For April it's shy self portraits. More than a little April Fool's Day feel to it.
No, I am not depressed. I'm just always looking for something different on theme day. (My favorite is this one from the first year of STL DPB.) So no shadows, silhouettes or funny masks. I came up with a couple of variations.
The first one was taken at home, on a tripod with a timer. (Triggertrap for IOS and Android is the most awesome photography app ever.) Just sitting by a window with soft, overcast light. Those of you who have met me know that I have rheumatoid arthritis. I neither draw attention to it or conceal it but it gets noticed.
The second photo is an iPhone selfie using the Plastiq Camera app. (I actually went out and bought a selfie stick for this. I am so ashamed.) It takes Lomo or Holga-like color images. Then I further degraded it in Photoshop. I dunno, a little cheesy. If you like it, fine.

CDP Monthly Theme Day: Red
.
So it's red today, is it? Here's a favorite old red in a portrait by Andy Warhol that adorns my office wall. (Just a print. Not a real Warhol.) So in that sense this post has some remote connection to St. Louis. Um, and to red. Workers of the world unite! Waive the red banner high! You have nothing to lose but your access to Blogger. I have much respect for China after two visits but, you know, then there's all that other stuff.
During the Cultural Revolution, the de facto national anthem of China was a stirring number called The East Is Red. Click the player bar below to listen to it. It's a lot more snappy than the official anthem, The March of The Volunteers.

By the way, CDP geezers may remember that there was another red theme day on July 1, 2007. Here's what I had to say about it back then.

CDPB Monthly Theme Day: Yellow

I dunno. It's what popped out of my feverish brain. Interpret it as you will.

WHY DID MY iPOD CROAK? Don't know. Maybe Apple planned it that way. But wait a minute. I'm writing this on a MacBook. Should I be worried?
