Lazy, Rainy Afternoon

It was raining by the time I was finished with my 'to do' list today and did not feel inspired to go out to take photos. Instead, I've dusted off a couple that are fun anyway. The one below I caught from across the street - it is a beauty shop for gentlemen - including facial treatments and manicures.

The photo below is a park in District 7 that had been beautified recently when the Ramada Inn took up residence in the neighborhood. The playground is particularly well equipped and car traffic was reduced a great deal in the neighborhood.

Fenix - OH, YES!!! THANK YOU for the suggestion. Just look at the difference in the photos. That was very generous of you to help.

Great photos. I love that you leave them in large so when enlarged you can see so much more detail.

Grooming for males? Not such a bad idea for special occasions.

My pleasure. Big difference, yes. :)

I felt the same and used an old photo, too. Must be spreading around. :)

Clueless - it was Fenix who told me HOW to make them appear larger than the initial small frames that were automatically assigned by the program. :) I love the difference too.

j. Andrew - for a moment I thought I would fib and pass them off as new, but the budding trees in the first photo and the rich foliage in the second were too much of a giveaway :)

Fenix :)

Thank you all for visiting.

I like the big photos too. Do you care to share how you did that? I upload my photos are large, but they still appear small in my blog.

WoW...some very beautifully captured shots....

Isadora, I think Clueless in Boston meant that he loves that, when clicked, the photos enlarge to 1600 pixels.

AVCR8TEUR, I just checked and your blog template needs to be wider to accommodate larger photos. So first you have to change or widen your template. You can choose a wide template from "settings" or change the width of your current one manually (do a search on "how to change blog width").

I have had a lot of those rainy afternoons. Nice pictures.

The playground must be wonderful, for city children.

And anything which slows/reduces traffic, is good for that reason, alone. :-)

This playground (+ Ramada Inn) is in the district 9 :)

:) Andrey! you got me - I still get confused about that, but you are right. Since it is your neighborhood you'll keep me honest.
