Bloomington: Tuesday Sightings

Spent part of my Tuesday in Bloomington and came away with some impressions. Went to the mall first but didn't find much of interest up there so came back to town, parked, and started wandering towards the campus. Never did get to the campus - found this noon concert going on at the People's Park and stopped, enjoyed the music, and took some photos of the singers as well as the folks listening in.

Bloomington Tea Bagger

Miki and I had tea (Miki) and coffee (me) at a small coffee house not far from Miki's work in Bloomington. I forget what the smile was all about but it's a nice one, don't you think?

Grasshoppered Door Handle

A small guy (click on photo to make him bigger) came to visit and was trying to figure out how to get our attention. I went out without noticing him but, fortunately for the two of us, saw him just before I grabbed the door handle on my way back in. For the Monochrome Weekly Theme. More b&w's from around the world here.

Toadstools

Under the pines just off of #5 green at the golfcourse. Cute?

At the Supermarket

A mom, her boy and a lady with a bunch of bananas.

33 brick street

Jim, Wilma and Diane are mere reflections in this photo taken last Friday when we went down to French Lick to have lunch at 33 brick street. It's a sports bar and has a bunch of sports memoribilia around and about. The '33', of course, is the number of Boston Celtic great and French Lick legend, Larry Bird (no relation of the author). Food was good, company was excellent.

Squares and X's

One of the sides of the indoor water park at French Lick, Indiana. A little tic-tac-toe anyone? For the Monochrome Weekly Theme. More b&w's from around the world here.

Lakeview sunset

Low flying herons adding a nice touch to a beautiful sunset.

Three Belgiums...

...making their way across a neighbor's front yard? Nah. Just looking for a stray blade of grass that they might have missed in an earlier pass through the pasture next to their master's house.

B&W's from Odon

Faces and kids at the ballgame.

Just Off of #6 Green

More webs a-weaving

This spider was busy setting the stage as the sun set last Wednesday evening out at the golf course.

Going to Seed

A member of the milkweed family doing its thing as it hangs over Boggs Lake. For the Monochrome Weekly Theme and all its fans. More b&w's from around the world here.

Friday Night Football in Daviess County

Sun falling over the goal post at Cougar Stadium in Odon. Big Daviess County rivalry there last night as the 1A North Daviess Cougars took on the big guys from Washington, the 3A Hatchets.

Several blue shirts and one pink in the band section. Did have people wondering where these guys came from as they were not robed in the orange and black/white of North Daviess.

Guys in stripes are going home - game's over. The home town team, the Cougars, treated their neighbors like royalty and let this one slip away, 14-6. First time I have been to a high school football game since my own days at St. Joe's up in South Bend back in the 50's. Oh my.

A Silver Lining...

...and maybe a little gold as well. The sky the other night.
