This past week I left my camera alone. I just didn't feel like taking any photos. This changed today when we went to Third Street Stuff for coffee. I spent some time editing my brother's thesis. When I had finished ten pages (and my coffee), I got up, stretched, grabbed my camera, and took about 60 photos.
I don't know if it was the bright colors at Third Street or if I was just ready to "see" again. You can view my photoset here. Allan's is here.
Wow, very nice. Pastels offer so much to work with, but can be so difficult.

I enjoyed the photos. Great for a Sunday flickr day!

Oooh!!! I love Third Street Stuff! Thanks for the virtual visit. When I used to go there it was just a store. Now they have coffee? Sweet!

Can't decide between the chair, the
sleep command or the rainbow grill. Oh never mind, they're all gorgeous!

As you may remember, I recently discovered your blog - read the archives to get a sense of your "story." I also added you to my blogroll (that doesn't mean that you have to reciprocate, by the way.)
Wow. Excellent stuff here. When I see things like this, I immediately become convinced that I do not have one iota of creativity in me.

You took some fantastic pictures! Very colorful, which is exactly what I need on a drab Monday!

I'm not sure about the "or die" part. I'm always hesitant about things like that. I can imagine a benevolent, yet insane, gunman shouting such things while lugging a bag of Purina Otter Chow through downtown.

Like the wall sez - live creatively or....
you're too good with that camera to leave it alone for long, Miss Ali.

Very nice--dramatic!

It looks as if you had a nice - and interesting - afternoon.
I love all the colors and the unusual "stuff"

Great photos! I hope I can find a cool coffee shop on my trek back.

I love that store. I absolutely agree with you! It's awesome. If I could paint my house like that, and Mom would let me, I'd do it. LOL
