The city on a warm summer evening is one of my favorite places to be.
There's always a breeze and people to see.
We like to take a picnic supper along and eat near one of the many fountains.
On a recent night we ate with friends on the second floor of the structure shown in the upper
right, above, until security kicked us out. Apparently it was "closed" after 6 pm.
Thankfully we did not bring the usual china or candles, so quickly scooped up our picnic
and headed to a lower table, feeling a bit like teenagers caught in the wrong spot.
A good summer to me includes a couple of evenings here.
As darkness descends and the lights come on
How funny getting chucked out.

Dotsie, I'm loving your new header! The adirondack chairs look inviting! How nice to go into the city and see the sights and the lights in the evening. ♥

ReplyDeleteThis is a cute post and your pictures are wonderful.
We love going up in the Clock Tower in the Old Post Office Building in Washington, D.C. and looking down over the city. We've been there at dusk when the lights are on all over the city--it is lovely! Thankfully, even though Donald Trump bought the building to turn it into a hotel, the city has kept the Clock Tower open for tourists. Sadly, we lost the food court on the ground level--a hidden gem in the city where one could eat for a reasonable price.
ReplyDeleteWell now, I never would have figured you for a city girl. I love the lights of a city sometimes (and rarely). I can't imagine your being booted from anywhere. That was not very nice.
ReplyDeleteTickles me you got booted out. Makes it an even better story. :)
ReplyDeleteHello, I love the city lights at night. So pretty. Just like teenagers, I am picturing you and your friends getting booted out during your picnic. Have a happy day and new week ahead!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos! Memories that will be shared for years...Have a grand day! Cathy
ReplyDeleteToo funny that you were kicked out of your picnic spot!! Glad you didn't let that dampen your spirits and that you just continued in another location. :D
ReplyDeleteAlthough I rarely visit the Big City, there is a certain magic in a city lit up at night.
Isn't it nice being a teenager???!!!!! Good for you. Love city lights in the evening. Fun post! Happy Monday!
ReplyDeleteI have a humorous vision of your picnic being busted Dotsie. :-) I was hoping you'd elaborate on what food you took because it does sound rather romantic.
ReplyDeleteWith hubby a retired Toronto captain the firetruck caught my attention right away, red and shiny as it should be.
The buildings with all the lights on are mesmerizing aren't they?
Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday.
How dare they evict you from your picnic! :-) Love the summertime photos. I can put myself into the photos and feel the summer air. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteOh, oh, busted! Good thing you didn't have an elaborate setup to remove. Your city in the summer photos are lovely. Glad you had a good time.
