YAY! It’s been too long since self has joined Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge.
Self certainly has a lot of photos of SUMMER! Which used to be her favorite time of year (Lately, she’s more and more appreciative of FALL)
Her favorite pictures of Summers past are parades. Here are a bunch from the annual Redwood City Fourth of July Parade, the oldest and largest Fourth of July Parade on the peninsula.
The pictures are all of one band in particular, the Leland Stanford, Jr. University Marching Band (fondly known as LSJUMB)
Stay tuned, dear blog readers. Stay tuned.

Excited that it’s ALMOST CHRISTMAS!
Excited, too, to be able to participate in Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this weeK: ONE BASIC COLOR.
Here are some pictures self took earlier this year, in May. She was in London and then joined her niece Irene in Prague, her first-time ever in that wondrous city:
- The Church of St. Martin-in-the-Field, just off Trafalgar Square, London
- The London Eye
- St. Martin restaurant in the Mala Strada district of Prague, just a few doors away from the American Embassy
Self just realized, looking at her shots and comparing to Cee Neuner’s, that self’s are extremely monochromatic. Ah, well!
Stay tuned, dear blog readers. Stay tuned.

This week, Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge is WHITE.
Self loves having an excuse to go back through her photo archives. Here are her selections:
- Greek antiquities, British Museum
- Self’s Iceberg roses, last summer
- a shell from the Philippines, in a wooden bowl from the Philippines
Love the prompt. Self doesn’t often think of white as a color.
Stay tuned.

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.
