June 25, 2026! - Heads up for those that cheer for the Eagles, Flyers and Phillies, 37th Manayunk Festival in Philadelphia starts this weekend, Saturday June 27 to Sunday June 28. It's a sprawling festival and tons of art, plenty to eat and drink. When you're done there, do youself a favor, head to Roxborough and pick up a Cheesesteak at Dalessandro's, it's the best Cheesesteak I've ever had!
FLIRTING & BODY LANGUAGE:
* It takes between 90 seconds and four minutes to decide if someone likes someone else romantically
* 55% of the message picked up from someone comes through body language
* 38% is picked up from tone, speed and inflection of the voice
* 7% is picked up from what is actually said
* If someone likes someone else, their pupil size increases and so does their blink rate
SO SWEET:
Flirty body language is a subconscious dance of non-verbal cues that signals attraction, comfort, and availability. It communicates interest without the pressure of direct words, often blending signs of approachability with a touch of playful vulnerability.

A Festival for a Purpose - Hampden Highlights Festival Baltimore, MD. For me it was a disappointing, just no energy, I guess I should be happy it didn't rain during my visit. On the bright side, I did meet artist Anisa Haas at the festival, visit her website, super nice work and she recycles! Hampden Highlights Festival

Friends with Benefits - When FB, IG and Flickr say check your photos or else lose them, I go and check them ALL out, and the best part, I've found most of you, who over the years have put a beer in my hand or money in my pocket or dinner on the table but always a smile on my face.

 2026 Sowebo Art and Music Festival might be the last of the real Baltimore neighborhood festivals. It's kid friendly, lots of art, music and interesting shops along the way. But the feel is simply old school Baltimore, with the historic Hollins Market, "the oldest public market building still in use in Baltimore City", right in middle of it all.

Three of a Kind - What does Winona Ryder, Johnny Depp and Lilly-Rose Depp all have in common? I couldn't believe it at first, but all 3 have starred in one form or another, a Dracula movie. Lilly-Rose Depp most recenly starred in a remake of the classic Nostferatu
 Day Tripping - Woke up hungry on this bright Saturday morning, so I decided to visit my local Farmer's Market. It's the ONLY farmer’s market in Baltimore City that is Opened Year Round, rain or shine. You can always count on fresh veggies and fruit as well as prepared foods. I call it the Waverly Farmer's Market but officially it goes by the 32nd Street Farmer's Market

 "I thought that explained Tina's love for the human face and figure. Well that is not all of it, Tina added one last thing that really opened my eyes, she says, "Since birth I have a slight hearing disability, because of that I have to rely more on peoples lip movements and gestures to fully understand them. That might be one of the reasons why I'm so fascinated by face and body language. " Tina von Wiesen
 "In shooting photography, all is in the eye of the beholder. The choice is forever mine to be the silent witness as well as an active participant with all my subjects. I invite you to taste the journey that I experience as an artist. The following pieces are examples of what lies around us, in front of us and within us to observe and to cherish. It is within our power of perception that makes each experience unique. " Tracy Kimmons
