Very proud to have this shot selected on both sites -- this is from a block party around Foster/Tripp that I passed on my bike. They were holding it in the alley, with everyone's garage doors open; it was a really cool sight and I knew it was one of the last "images of summer" I would get. Of course, the staggered layers of pennant streamers look really cool.

The little girl on the right, in a green shirt, while I was taking shots, she strolled up to me on her scooter, just staring at me while I worked. I think she either really really wanted me to get a shot of her, or she was wishing this stranger would leave the party :-)
