Cross legged.

photo 772
A very lazy day ...I have done absolutely nothing today, tired from yesterday & trying to catch up a little on 365.

Harry has been very industrious power washing the garden furniture & now at the bowling green.

I should never grumble about the weather again when I see all the damage & heartache caused by the Oklahoma tornado.....our thoughts are with you all.

A street artist in Brick Lane or thereabouts from my recent trip to London.

Three good things:
1. Looking forward to beef stir fry bought from the farm shop yesterday for our evening meal.
2. Green free furniture to sit out in when it gets warm enough!!!!
3. I have booked train tickets for Glasgow in June at an excellent rate!!

Well captured. You have caught some interesting expressions here without actually showing their faces ... the two passers-by looking at the artwork and the artist concentrating on his next masterpiece .

Lots to look at in this photo. (I covet those boots!) We are about to book flights Southampton - Glasgow to see our daughter in October.

@quietpurplehaze Yes do you think they are Doc Martins? We are taking our granddaughter to Strathclyde Uni open day & Mum & Dad are away...will be a nice trip & it's Harrys birthday so a day out!

@happypat
I think they probably are - the colour appeals to me.
Hope you have a lovely day and will you have time for a bit of gallery etc visiting? We love Glasgow for that.

@quietpurplehaze Thanks Hazel but there will be no gallery viewing that day....Harry is not a fan of that pastime....cows yes but not art!! LOL !

I like his concentration.

Oh nice - well spotted while we were distracted by the glamorous ladies! Love the movement in the boys walking past and you've done something nice and intense with the colours. Absolutely agree about the tornado - how absolutely dreadful.

You know what, Pat? When I looked at this initially, I thought the cross-legged part was the couple walking together, that their legs crossed over in their combined strides, and I thought what a brilliant idea. :) Then I realised you meant the street artist sitting cross-legged, and it all fell apart. lol

Great photo and fun to read your text and other people's comments! I love the boots too - great colour but probably far too heavy for little feet!
Perhaps Harry would enjoy the Riverside Museum! (It's the new transport museum where we took Allan's dad recently and quite fascinating!) Hope you all have a great day anyway and Glasgow is such a vibrant place!

@sarah19 He probably would Sallie but not sure how much time we will have or if we are going inside the University with Lydia or they go round on their own..will play it by ear I think.

@happypat nope, she steps into his stride in the photo if you see what I mean - they cross legs. :)

@sabresun You were thinking back to your youth in the three legged race I think!!!
posted May 21st, 2013  
@happypat Now you're messing with me! :P
posted May 21st, 2013  
@sabresun LOl well even I used to do the three legged race ..I hated all sports mind though wasn't bad at hockey!
posted May 21st, 2013  
@sabresun Anyway aren't they two boys?
posted May 21st, 2013  
@happypat Difficult to tell for sure.
posted May 21st, 2013  
@sabresun No on second looks perhaps you are right!!

Very good street photo!

Welll captured ! -- A great candid street image -At 1st I was so busy looking at the walking pair that I nearly missed the sitting down artist !! and I agree with @sabresun Matt's comments !

I like all your three things...beef stir fry (tick), preparations for sitting outside (tick tick) and bargain train tickets (tick tick TICK! I've been known to buy us trainline tickets to places we didn't even want to go just because they were so excitingly cheap!)
posted May 21st, 2013  
Wonderful street scene how different from your usual photos Pat
posted May 21st, 2013  
A street shot full of interest! Like the sound of your train deal!
posted May 21st, 2013  
@jewelsandbinoculars Yes have discovered if you book early enough you get great deals £ 10 each for return journey so good, slightly more going as we are treating ourselves to 1st class so we get our breakfast... Harrys birthday treat!!

@snowy Well completely out of my usual area Diana ....am enjoying posting the different photos too!

@grannysue @mcmary @beryl Thank you all very much!!

You never know who is going to walk past when you take a street photo - at least in London, you don't get obese people waddling past like I do!
posted May 21st, 2013  
@maggiemae Now i come to think about it maggiemae the London crowd were remarkably fit looking!! We have some large people here in our towns too but didn't notice it so much in London.
posted May 21st, 2013

posted May 21st, 2013  
@sparkle LOL !!

How very urban and artsy - bet it was fun to be there and in a whole new element for you since you've joined 365. Well done!
posted May 21st, 2013  
This is such a new area for you and you are doing it proud.

posted May 22nd, 2013  
Oh! I love this street shot. The composition, the expression of all in the picture, and the brickwork. It's absolutely marveleous!
