Dolce far niente (Weekend Street/Reflections # 88)

Soaking up some winter sunshine before he speeds away in his Riva Aquarama boat. 

Riva's slogan - “Sun, sea, joy of living!"

Dolce far niente is an Italian phrase that directly translates to “sweet doing nothing.”

Definition: “pleasant relaxation in carefree idleness”

Jazz Hands (Weekend Street/Reflections # 87)

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I used to see this guy from time to time on Walnut street. I think this picture is from 2013. 

I just realized I started Weekend Reflections 13 years ago on September 25, 2009. Thanks for being part of it! 😀

La Pluie (Weekend Street/Reflections # 86)

 Paris, France

"Tombe tombe tombe la pluie

Le ciel est gris la pluie s'invite comme par surprise

elle est chez nous et comme un rite qui nous enlise

les parapluies s'ouvrent en cadence

comme une danse,

les gouttes tombent en abondance

sur douce France."

The Mario Bros? (Weekend Street/Reflections # 85)

 Florence, Italy                      (The Ponte Vecchio)

Does anyone remember the arcade game Donkey Kong or The Mario Bros.(Mario and Luigi)? Maybe it was the ladder, but that's what I thought of when I saw these guys.😉

Why are you taking my picture? (Weekend Street/Reflections # 84)

 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Him: "Why are you taking my picture?"

Me: "Why did you step into my picture?" "Look behind you, you don't want to make her mad."

Laughs......😄

*The woman behind him was part of an advertisement on the acrylic bus shelter.
