I`m still haunted by visions of color guard. KCOD YREVILED `The Lion King` is back again. Again. It was warmish/hot today, so I tried to stay in the shade. You may dig wintertime, but spring is my joy. JON HENDRICKS (with help from CLIFFORD BROWN)

Some people are constantly outraged. The Levitt season hasn`t started. This was a preview. Dayton, Ohio: The Land of Funk. The Luv Locz Experiment put on a great show tonight. I`m looking forward to another season at the Levitt.

IT`S FRIIIDAAAAYYYYYY!!! She had the unenviable task of telling other people`s little kids to `Wait your turn` to get a picture with the mascot. Margaritaville, Ohio. An art gallery has an exhibition about dancers -- and some real dancers to go along with it (members of Dayton Dance Initiative). I managed to take some good photos without spilling my plate of cookies.

Hands making music. Hands making music. Hands making music. Hands making music. Hands making music.

The Kettering Children`s Choir filled the house. Who doesn`t like a good song about pirates? Warming up before the performance. Amanda Roberts was named the National Hammered Dulcimer Champion. I`ve photographed KCC singers since they were kids, and now some have kids of their own.

I guess I won`t be walking that way. Nature is sometimes orderly -- and sometimes messy. Talking things over. As I wandered around this tree, people in a nearby office could see me through the window. I stand on this corner every day, but fortunately not when some idiot driver drove up onto the sidewalk.

Great balls of flower. It`s all about scale. Large and small are relative. Spring is my thing. Future frogs. I had to get down in the mud for this, but it was worth it.

It has rained a lot lately. Urban wildlife. Dunno what that yellow slime is, but don`t drink it. Beautiful work. It rained that night, and it washed away. Making room for a memorial (see February 29, 2024).

Somewhere in America. An entertainment hotspot in downtown Dayton. Leap fearlessly toward your destiny. You missed a spot. Somewhere else in America.

Fish should beware that sharply pointed bill. The color purple. The eternal struggle between worms and robins. Don`t look at me: I have no idea what it is. I normally see chipmunks here, but I`ll take a bird.

This picture was inevitable (see May 1 above). There was only one of her. Somebody walked past and asked her: `Model?` I like this shiny building. She even makes a parking garage look good.

I used to park in this lot when it was full of potholes. The neighborhood gathering spot I knew is gone forever (see May 8 above). There was gunfire in my neighborhood again, so an eye in the sky has appeared (see September 22, 2023). I take a lot of dull flower photos before I get a good one. Just another Sunday night standing in the sun, getting sweaty, taking bee photos in front of someone`s house.

Boy in a box. I love cheese curls. No matter where you are, somebody may be watching. On the walk home. A venerable old tree had to die to make way for the Oregon District memorial (see May 8 above).

An optimist sees trees. A pessimist sees broken glass. Food pictures at 7:40pm are desperate pictures. Time to replace my threadbare French blue oxford shirt. I now wear a small, apparently, due to vanity sizing. Choir concert photos ready to send (see May 5 above).

This city was named after Jonathan Dayton, who never once set foot here. Literally growing out the sidewalk. The sphere landed, the little people came toward me, and I woke up the next day. I got a little wet taking this picture. And now for something completely different.

The morning buzz. Self-portrait in a bubble. I fully expected to see a skipper on this plant. I fully expected to see a dragonfly on this plant. I did not expect to see a caterpillar on this plant.
