The prompt is WATER IN NATURE.
Clearly self hasn’t been spending much time outdoors because she had to go all the way back to May, in Prague, to find pictures of a body of water.
So, here are three pictures of Prague’s Vltava River, from the trip she took with her niece, Irene, end of May. All these pictures were taken during one beautiful Sunday. She wouldn’t have thought of posting them (She likes to post her travel pictures IN REAL TIME. Which is to say: as they are occurring) but she was going through her photo archives and, well, a river is a natural body of water.
A local told her that in Prague one could never be lost. And he was right! As long as you see a bridge, you can orient yourself. Luckily, the city’s not that big.
And besides, the city is so beautiful. So why be in such a hurry to get to your destination? Just relax, enjoy discovering new streets.

Self just got back from a trip to Ireland and England.
The last week of May, she met up with Amy Toland of Miami University Press and took her to her favorite London restaurant, Chez Nous, 22 Hanway Street. Self has been coming here since 2014, Julie is an amazing cook!

It’s been a while since self participated in Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge. This week’s is FEET AND LEGS!
Here are some pictures from self’s current trip that relate to the theme:
Socks from the V & A Gift Shop: Saw the Mary Quant Exhibit
Cork, Ireland, May 2019: Her ballerina flats have gotten very tattered on this trip, she may have to discard!
Paradiso, Cork, May 2019: She bought the Converse sneakers in London within days of her arrival. They have taken quite a beating since this picture was taken: scuffed and smudged everywhere.
Trips really do a number on her shoes.
Stay tuned, dear blog readers. Stay tuned.
