Arielle Couldn't Wait To Get Back In The Picture

I really wondered whether I would ever get to write in this blog again.  Last night, as you know if you follow blogs, Blogger was shut down for maintenance.  There was no advance notice and the outage lasted well into this afternoon.


Anyway...Not much else has happened. So, for tonight, I'll leave you with a shot of Arielle:

Only Gear Syndrome

Is Tosca suffering from Only Gear Syndrome?  You know what it is: When they don't have to share their single gear with any other bike, they think they're always the center of attention.

Truth is, everyone does pay attention to her, especially when she's at the beach.

People are always peeping at her.  But she loves being the center of attention.  It's really her world.

The evening is young. That's Tosca's time. She's getting ready now.

Well...Even if she suffers from Only Gear Syndrome, she's given me a lot of good times.  And, I hope, she will give me more for a long time to come.

Tosca and the Pursuit of Young Love

You know what they say about the Spring...specifically, about where a young man's fancy turns:

Here is the young man:

After I snapped this, a friend of his happened by:

Of course, not all were in pursuit of love at Coney Island.  Some, apparently, already have it.

And Tosca was taking it all in:

which is odd, given that Tosca (Puccini's, anyway) was never known for simply taking things in.
