An impromptu idea before I called the session to an end. Rim lighting technique with dust particles in the air.

I didn't design the glasses, I drew them in Illustrator from this lovely image.
Jerry came by today wearing his Halloween spectacles. He was a little waisted as usual. He refused to sit up straight. Then he got the munchies and would not leave my fake fruit alone.

My new glasses. When my nephew saw them the first thing he said was that they were 'proper geek glasses'........I prefer 'stylish and fashionable' obviously!!
Montreal is a city of festivals and celebrations in the summer. It takes a lot of work to get the downtown Quartier des spectacles ready!
I hope all these fall shots aren't boring you, but it was another glorious day with brilliant sunshine and compelling colors.
These are my reading glasses, handy for reading a book on a nice day while enjoying a nice mug of darjeeling tea. For 119 pictures in 2019, #93 "spectacles"

The illustration on this postcard is based on a song, "The Bird on Nellie's Hat," that was popular when the card appeared in 1908, and the title of the book that Nellie is reading–Love's Young Dream–is a phrase that comes from the lyrics to the song.
The bird's snide utterance–"100 and 23 for yours"–to the guy who's lurking behind Nellie is a reference to the "23 skidoo" fad that started around 1906 or 1907. Telling someone "23 skidoo" or "23 for you" was a shorthand way of saying "scram," "beat it," or "get lost" (I'm not sure whether the addition of "100 and" to the more typical "23 for yours" phrase had any extra meaning). For more "23 skidoo" postcards, see my Skidoos and Lemons album.
Check out the sheet music for The Bird on Nellie's Hat (1906), which is part of the Lester S. Levy Collection of Sheet Music at Johns Hopkins University, or go to YouTube to see the lyrics and hear an Edison wax cylinder recording of Ada Jones singing "The Bird On Nellie's Hat" (1913).
