WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE: MY NEIGHBORHOOD
I have a dumb phone and I like it! I really don’t want a cell phone that does anything other than being a phone. That’s because I do have a compact camera that’s about the same size as most smart phones and is always in my pocket when I’m away from the house. As a matter of fact, every photo I have ever submitted to the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE has been taken with this camera. So phoneography? Humbug I say, it all phonygraphy to me! So welcome to MY NEIGHBORHOOD … as seen through the lens of my SONY Cyber-shot.
This is a walking tour of West Walnut Manor. It’s a suburb of Saint Louis that’s been around since 1830 and in some ways it still has that rural look of yesteryear. It’s very hilly, and while it does have paved streets, it does not have sidewalks.
And it has a lot of trees …
And a brand new Wendy’s!
And regular visits from the library’s Book Mobile.
We do have a problem with street signs …
All photos were taken in my neighborhood while on a walk with my faithful companion Mlle. Renee.

... a somewhat unknown or perhaps imaginary actor, writer, director, producer, photographer, friend, brother, uncle and all round good fellow that you really should get to know because he lives with that most glamorous fourpaw Mademoiselle Renee. (Mlle. Renee for short)
Who knew there were two of us with dumb phones? We lived in Bridgeton, MO, for a couple of years way back when. Liked your tour.
Yeah, they look at me like I’m crazy when I say I want less than minimal features.
Whoo hooo!
* skateboards down the hill!*
Unfortunately, most of the residents are well-passed skateboards and moving on to walkers.
Bookmobile!
They only visit the grade schools these days … and senior living centers. I rely on my kindle.
