Dorthy and Toto
This scene reminded me of Dorthy and Toto from the Wizard of Oz.
bloody mary bar
Brunch at the Dandelion Market includes a very popular bloody mary bar. We found the food very good but the noise level too high. I suspect that brunch on Sunday morning will be a little quieter.
This photo was taken at 118 West 5th Street in Uptown. Following is a link to the Dandelion Market website.
coffee and a newspaper
Another scene I’m envious of … enjoying coffee and a newspaper on a lazy Sunday … recently I have been too busy to linger on a lazy Sunday.
This photo was taken at 1401 East Boulevard … this is one of our stops on our regular Sunday walk. Even with a busy work schedule we make time for our Sunday walk.
relaxing with coffee
Relaxing with coffee next to Little Sugar Creak greenway near Uptown Charlotte … I’m jealous given my work schedule does not allow much relaxing recently.
This photo was taken near 1000 Blythe Boulevard on the Little Sugar Creek greenway.

chimes at Romare Bearden Park
Playing the chimes at Romare Bearden Park is not only enjoyed by the young but also the young at heart. I’ll admit I play them regularly (smile) … recently I heard a guide explain that the park, flowers, fountains, and rocks were laid out following the pattern of a collage which was one of Romare Bearden styles.
This photo was taken at 300 South Church Street. Following is a Wikipedia article about Romare Bearden who the park was name after.
running and jumping
I was pleased to have this photo opportunity … a young girl running and jumping on the Green in Uptown Charlotte .. glad my camera has a high speed shutter. Notice the fish sculptures in the background.
