South Street Strolling

Ah... sunshine. I know that winter is coming - I can feel the ruffling in my fuzz - but I intend to enjoy you as much as possible while you're here.

Must explore parks...

And bask in the glow as much as possible.

Hey wait a minute... what's that?

I see something behind your back mama... you know that you are going to have to give it to me!!!

Hehehe. STICK.

Thanks for that - now I'm drivin'.

You know that you mentioned that you wanted to see the new South Street bridge, so lets go!

Just opened, brand spanking-ly-newly-done South Street bridge. No graffiti or trash or anything "city-like" on it yet.

Have I mentioned that I'm kind of freaked out by flags? Especially when they're really waving around. All of that movement is kind of disconcerting (I can't really wrap my head around this whole wind thing you humans seem to all know about).

But it is an awfully pretty view. Still nice to meet ya, Philadelphia.

Love,

Tourist or Local?

It's funny because we are both. Tourists - and locals. Mama and I wander around - sometimes aimlessly, sometimes with the aim machine at least turned on - and we see a lot of cool things. But yet we certainly don't know much about our new adopted town at this point, and so it's kind of important to do the "tourist-y" things as well as the "local" things.

While I was pondering that deep thought, mama was taking my picture with a varmint...

So... the Magic Gardens. Because I can't go inside we haven't done so, but from the outside it's still pretty darned marvelous.

It's good to get in close - that's where all of the good smells are.

So many smells and so little time.

We walked to the end of South Street where mama insisted I do the cheesy "tourist" pose:

These sculptures are pretty darned entertaining - for mama, that is. I was on a mission to find new greenery and I COULD SMELL IT...

Yep, new greenery with new smells. I jumped right up, posed for a few quick glamour shots to keep mama happy, then got down to the business of sniffin'.

First a funny face, while she's testing out the settings on her camera...

Then busting out the serious cuteness...

Full body shot to take in the entire awesome Dale-ness...

Getting a little annoyed that this impromptu photo shoot is taking so darned long...

Okay, okay. A little more supAIREmodeling...

The Many Moods of Bogart Handsome Devil...

And ending up with a bit of fun - I had to hold this pose for a moment while mama eagerly snapped away to get it just right (oh those PHOTOGRAPHERS...)

Love,

Bogart

High Society... Hill

Da-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-Batman!

We took an evening stroll around South Street, this is near the Magic Gardens...

Rather than always walk down the same streets, mama and I enjoy taking little detours and seeing as much as we can. Tonight we saw these two frisky characters:

And "A Man Full of Trouble". Mama says she needs one of these (perhaps without the parrot, though).

Venturing through the Society Hill area, we found this cool shop sign...

In my eternal quest for new greenery.

Hey - over there - I see a park I haven't peed in yet!

Ah... grass. Being a big city boy, I can really appreciate even the smallest patch of grass. It's nice and cool on my toes, and feels even better when I get to lay on it for a bit.

Lots of statues around, posing magnificently. I too can pose magnificently.

Ready to go! Must explore!

Love,

Bogart
