Above a sidewalk that runs along the bottom to the left are the entrances to buildings; from left to right shadowed white framed doors, shuttered whited edged black panel-lined glass doors, and a dark shimmering marble frame; then a second story of fire escapes with tall windows, a single air conditioner, and stone over the marble: above the white and black is an old-fashioned movie-theater-style panel that reads "ALL MY BETTER DAYS ARE THE ONES SPENT WITH YOU."

I always thought this Madagascar palm looked like she was covered in a grid of X’s. Very pointy X’s.

Xs of an ordinary day #Alphabetchallenge #WeekXForXs

Stained glass featuring a large X pattern created by square diamond shapes in deep red, blue and green. Green triangle starbursts decorate each end of the X diagonals. The glass that is not colored is etched with an irregular pattern that reminds me of water freezing on a smooth surface.

One last #WeekXforXs offering: stained glass lit by a full moon.

Cheese, but an X nevertheless.
