How many lights?

Sunday turned out to be one of those perfect cloudy days, clear and slightly on the cool side, that don't usually show up so close to mid summer. To celebrate, a friend and I took to the streets of Cincinnati to see what we could see.

This photo amused me for the sheer number of lights visible in the background of the lamp post. It was taken near DeSales Corner.





Near the knitting shop One Stitch, several trees have found themselves hugged with knit scarfs. This one is just plain whimsy out of a Dr. Seuss book.



Up in Mt. Adams there was lots to see.




One unexpected place we discovered was the Mt. Adam Stairs leading up to the Church of the Immaculata from down below. Apparently on Good Friday, pilgrims say prayers on each step as they make their way up from the bottom of the hill to the church. (Okay, M knew about it and took us there b/c she knew about it....., but, it was an amazing feeling of discovery for me in unexpectedly happening upon this place on an afternoon wander.)






We even saw Friar Tuck, who kindly invited us to dine with him! Sadly, we had to decline...
