Two photos from Motor City Pride, held today downtown. The weather didn't impact the crowds!

Looking east...

Looking west...

Classic Car

2010-06-05T13:32:00.000-04:00

A car from the Memorial Day parade.

Mural

This mural is in a pedestrian alley downtown.

Cactus

2010-06-03T08:27:00.001-04:00

A cactus-like plant, which is an unusual choice for landscaping this far north. It seems happy here, though.

With the Band

2010-06-02T10:09:00.001-04:00

Marching musicians from the Ferndale Memorial Day Parade. The little kid with the huge saxophone is so cool.

Little Devil

2010-06-01T09:55:00.003-04:00

This is my contribution for June's "Theme Day" for City Daily Photo. The theme is "Funny Signs," so I guess this counts. Click here to view thumbnails for all participants

This little guy lives at Cantina Diablo. I included the flat screens on either side in this shot... I wonder if that was a good choice or if I should have cropped them out?

Remembering the Fallen

2010-05-31T20:43:00.002-04:00

Pictures of soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan are carried each year in the Memorial Day Parade in Ferndale.

(I took a bunch of pictures at this parade, so I'm going to upload them over the next few weeks, here and there.)

Hong Kong One

2010-05-30T08:40:00.002-04:00

Inside Hong Kong One. The food is good, and it's always fast.

Shamrock Pot

2010-05-29T13:36:00.000-04:00

The flower pot outside The Twisted Shamrock. Part of the Pimp your Pot competition.

Dollar Sale

2010-05-28T19:29:00.000-04:00

Why have a yard sale or a garage sale, when you can have a dollar sale?

A different kind of school

2010-05-27T18:33:00.000-04:00

Ferndale Montessori.

Bike Rodeo

2010-05-26T09:21:00.001-04:00

What is a Bike Rodeo? Apparently, it's some kind of bicycle safety event.

Produce

2010-05-25T14:37:00.003-04:00

Onions in Ferndale Foods.

Monochrome Monday

A bank of glass block windows.

Church

2010-05-23T20:29:00.001-04:00

The Drayton Avenue Presbyterian Church. (I wish I had gotten a picture without the phone wires. Well, the whole point of this is to learn to take better pictures, right?)

Build a House of Stone

2010-05-22T16:26:00.001-04:00

A house made of stone in northwest Ferndale.

The house number on the side of an apartment building.

Breakfast Bunnies

2010-05-17T08:01:00.003-04:00

Salt and pepper shakers at Toast. (In my opinion, you can get the best French toast in town here.)

Soho

2010-05-16T08:57:00.002-04:00

Soho on a Saturday night.

Guardian Robot

2010-05-15T07:24:00.001-04:00

This morning I'm enjoying a scone from the Pinwheel Bakery on Nine Mile. Voted "Best in Oakland County," Pinwheel has the most amazing scones. I noticed this winged guy over the cash register and couldn't resist a picture. The lady behind the counter called him "my guardian robot."

Here kitty, kitty...

2010-05-14T09:54:00.003-04:00

This friendly cat came up to me and rubbed on my legs before posing for this photo.
