CITY DAILY PHOTO JUNE THEME DAY - PINK

Your city may have a monumental statue of a politician or general, the figure of Liberty or a battling bull and bear. We have Erwin Wurm's Big Suit in Citygarden. I find it ambiguous, subject to many interpretations. Many years ago, though, I had a pink seersucker suit. No idea what got into me.

It's going to be crazed around here this weekend. The baseball Cardinals' arch-rivals, the Chicago Cubs, are in town. That always draws thousands of out of town fans. The third game of the Stanley Cup finals is Saturday night, with our Blues and the Boston Bruins tied at one game each. Is it coincidental about Cubs and Bruins at the same time or is there deeper mystical significance? I think the authorities should just turn Market Street into a river of beer and the rest of us should stay far away.             

Pretty In Pink

Faces on Cherokee Street during the Cinco de Mayo Festival. Too little time to write comments on my friends work - we're back in the new dimensions in overwork trap.

It occurs to me that since the next CDP theme day was my suggestion, I better go shoot something with contrast in it. We're going to Kansas over Memorial Day weekend. Maybe I can compose something that compares its state government and sanity.              

City Daily Photo Theme Day: Pink

I don't always get around to posting a City Daily Photo theme day pic, but there was an obvious choice this month. These are the feet and toes of my granddaughter Madeleine, now 12 days old.          

Little Madeleine has had a busy few days, including some landmarks: first brunch and lunch out with mom and dad; first dinner out with the family last night at STL's fabulous Afghan restaurant, Sameem; and first music performances. They were kind of twangy. But wait - what are Madeleine, Emily - and I! - doing at the International Steel Guitar Convention? Come back tomorrow and find out. 

And what the heck, I'll throw in another pinkie.
