Hibiscus on Bank Avenue

Out for a walk and a ride

Lookin' good!

Vandalism on Ironville Pike

Kill it quick!

Fashion on the river

 

Uncle Sam again - The more stars and stripes you display, the more patriotic you are.

Dropped pastels?

One of Columbia's fine ferals

Two more

And one more

Angel (possibly praying for the ferals)

No more weeds at CVS

But there is a mushroom garden starting at Holy Trinity Cemetery.

Glamour View

Simply glamorous

If anyone's missing a grocery cart, it's on the 500 block of Manor.

It was a good day for pulling on wires.

Pulling, pulling . . .

And pulling some more.

While out on Manor Street . . .

Digging, digging . . .

And digging some more.

Time for a break

And now, more digging - this time on the 600 block of Locust.

Making haste slowly
