Cross legged. by happypat

Cross legged.

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.

@wordpixman Thank you Arthur I was so spoilt for choice in London.
May 21st, 2013  
@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.
May 21st, 2013  
@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 !
May 21st, 2013  
I like his concentration.
May 21st, 2013  
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.

Superb street shot Pat, that works perfectly in colour. Full of life. Fav.
May 21st, 2013  
Got to fav this beauty! Great colors, composition, angle of faces

@seanoneill Thank you Sean...much appreciated!
May 21st, 2013  
@jgpittenger Your fave gratefully received Jane thank you!!
May 21st, 2013  
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
May 21st, 2013  
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.
May 21st, 2013  
@happypat nope, she steps into his stride in the photo if you see what I mean - they cross legs. :)
May 21st, 2013  
@sabresun You were thinking back to your youth in the three legged race I think!!!
May 21st, 2013  
@happypat Now you're messing with me! :P
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!
May 21st, 2013  
@sabresun Anyway aren't they two boys?
May 21st, 2013  
@happypat Difficult to tell for sure.
May 21st, 2013  
@sabresun No on second looks perhaps you are right!!
May 21st, 2013  
@happypat You were there. You should know! lol
May 21st, 2013  
Another excellent street scene shot.

eva
Fabulous capture. Fav for sure.
May 21st, 2013  
nice one pat, love the bit of motion blurrrrrr on the lads walking by.....sounds like a fabulous meet up in london
May 21st, 2013  
...on closer inspection it's a boy and a girl walking by :)
May 21st, 2013  
@redrucksack Thank you Eva, you are very kind!
May 21st, 2013  
@phil_howcroft Thanks Phil & yes have decided Matt is right but a very boyish girl I think!!
May 21st, 2013  
Very good street photo!
May 21st, 2013  
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 !
May 21st, 2013

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!)
May 21st, 2013  
Wonderful street scene how different from your usual photos Pat
May 21st, 2013  
A street shot full of interest! Like the sound of your train deal!
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!!
May 21st, 2013  
@snowy Well completely out of my usual area Diana ....am enjoying posting the different photos too!
May 21st, 2013  
@grannysue @mcmary @beryl Thank you all very much!!
May 21st, 2013  
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!
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.
May 21st, 2013  
look at you and your street shots! This one is great! nice to hear Harry is resting that knee of his! and good for you for kicking back today, wish I could have done! planning on a weekend of doing nothing!
May 21st, 2013  
@sparkle LOL !!
May 21st, 2013  
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!
May 21st, 2013  
This is such a new area for you and you are doing it proud.
May 22nd, 2013  
Very nice street shot.
May 22nd, 2013  
That is a wonderful candid capture
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!
May 22nd, 2013  
Excellent shot. There's so much to look at! I love the textures, composition and colours!
May 22nd, 2013  
Love that bit of movement you caught in the boys walking by.
May 22nd, 2013  
These street artists are so good. Nice capture. I agree with you about not grumbling about the weather. We have had windy weather here and complained but it is nothing to what those poor people in Oklahoma have had to endure.
May 22nd, 2013  
Wow, great composition and colours on this. Love it. Fav.
May 22nd, 2013  
Very nice street shot. The brick area sounds very interesting.
May 22nd, 2013  
@jesperani Thanks Jennifer!
May 22nd, 2013  
Wonderful street scene!
