I liked the weathered box on the back of the bike. I thought it added interest to the photo.
I’ve been taking my camera along lately when I go for a walk or run errands, with an eye to doing more street scenes. I began this photographic journey taking mainly nature shots but it’s nice to stretch a little, think about different kinds of subjects to shoot and ways to approach them. It’s fun to try out different lenses too, which forces you to look at things differently. Both photos were taken with a 35mm lens.
When I turned the corner and saw a mass of colour suspended from the building it reminded me of a huge bunch of balloons.

Very nice composition in the b&w bike photo and the box adds to the story.

I enjoyed your photos of the walk about town. I liked the contrast of the wonderful bike photo and colorful kayaks in the air.

Bunch of balloons is exactly what I thought too! I also carry a camera every where, but the 600mm lens is always attached unless I know I’ll be shooting short distances. I’ve come to depend on the camera phone for quickies. What town, Belinda?

My favourite lens for shots on the fly are
my 35mm or 50mm. You never know what’s just around the corner! I live in Ottawa.

I really like the bicycle picture. The box even has neat holes drilled for rope or cables to go through – a ‘business box’.
