As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, some people slowly ease their way into this cold water. And some of them opt for the quick-entry method.

Me? Oh, I chose to stay dry.

As soon as I saw that sign, I knew I needed to make this photo. At first I thought it just absolutely needed to have the spires of St. Rosa Catholic Church rising behind it. And so that’s the way I framed the image and the way I made the first few shots.

But as soon as I saw the phone booth (a phone booth!), the spires became completely unimportant.

Tobias was many things

Tobias – hijo, hermano, tio, y artista – must be missed by many people.

trash/stairway

San Antonio’s famed Riverwalk is below street level, which adds some interest to walking around. If you get really lucky, you can see the street-level entrance to a bar or restaurant and at the same time spot the river-level back stairs where last night’s trash awaits collection.

In this case, I was looking at the back stairs to Dick’s Last Resort while standing next to the street-level doorway; a little bit later that same morning, when I was on the river, a man setting up tables for Dick’s L. R. called my attention to cat that was stalking a couple of ducks*. That was a nice bit of coincidental symmetry.

*The ducks escaped a feline-induced end when the cat ran away. In case you were worried.

alley, with bird

I will always look down an alley. And I will generally photograph it, especially if there happens to be a cooperative bird in the vicinity.
