UNUSUAL: The Daily Post Photo Challenge, 19 July 2017

This week’s Daily Post Photo Challenge is:

UNUSUAL

The prompt comes from guest host Lignum Draco: “Experiment.” Try something “unusual.”

Don’t know whether self is interpreting this week’s Photo Challenge correctly but, without further ado, self’s takes on “unusual”:

Gina’s Filipino Café, 1101 Twelfth St., downtown Sacramento

• There is only one Filipino restaurant in downtown Sacramento. And it just so happened to be very close to the apartment self was renting. Adobo is the quintessential Filipino dish. Anthony Bourdain said the best pork he ever tasted was in the Philippines.

Still can’t get over the fact that this bridge over the Sacramento River is such a vibrant, fun yellow! Cool!

• It’s all there in the caption.

Dearest Mum was the reigning superstar of her day (She won the New York Times International Piano competition when she was just 14). In spite of that, she was very demure.

• Photos from a stash self had in her closet. She stumbled across them just two weeks ago. Dearest Mum as a shy flower. Before self was even a notion. She went on to marry Dear Dad, who took her home to the Philippines (She had grown up East Coast, mainly New York City) and with whom she had five children.

Stay tuned, dear blog readers. Stay tuned.
