Here's another shot of the flowerbeds and clothes shop from farther out.

Here are a couple of the flowerbeds in Frantiskanska Zahrada. The small yellow building behind them is now a clothes shop, but I'm assuming it was once associated with the monastery.

Trying to finish my roll of film with something decent, and realising that I had never photographed Frantiskanska Zahrada before, I walked back into the garden during a break and took some photos. The garden is behind St. Mary of the Snows Church, seen here. This was once a monastery (as far as I know it isn't anymore), although it went by several different names through the centuries. The church dates to 1372.

And this was another butterfly with the same colors as in Picture 11 in flight. I don't know if it's the same one as I don't remember.

This was another butterfly.

This was after the black butterfly turned. Note that the other butterfly and the bee are still there.

This butterfly stood out for its black color, but the black color also hid detail. I didn't have a proper telephoto lens anyway, so I'm not sure how much it mattered. If you look carefully, you can see another butterfly off to the lower right, and an airborne bee below the black butterfly.

This was the same butterfly a few seconds later.

I spent a lot of time photographing this group of flowers (does anybody know what they are?), because they were the easiest to get shots of bees and butterflies on. They move around a lot, so they can be a challenge, but I caught this butterfly in mid-flight. I don't know the species, but maybe someone more expert does.

I'm someone who knows virtually nothing about flowers, but when I noticed Namesti General Kutlvasra next to the radnice for Praha 4, I walked over to experiment doing closeups of the flowers, bees, and butterflies. I've edited this shot for higher contrast and saturation, although not too aggressively.

Prague is divided into a number of districts which include within them many neighborhoods with their own names, but the districts generally go by numbers. The districts can be so large that they have their own city, or maybe it would be better to say town, halls, and this one is for Praha 4, the largest of all Prague districts which includes the boroughs of Nusle, Michle, Podoli, Zabehlice, Krc, Branik, Lhotka, Hodkovicky, and Kunratice. Some residents of other districts also legally have Praha 4 addresses for reasons that I'm not clear on. In any case, although I've been to this radnice (town hall) before, I was surprised especially by the fact that I had never photographed it before, as it's quite an ornate building. So much so, in fact, that I'm assuming it's a 19th, instead of 17th, Century building, although I could be wrong. I'm still trying to get information about it.

When I did my second walking tour of Stara Linka 011, I decided to go as far as hikers are currently allowed (the line isn't fully converted yet, I found out). I took some photos, and did a video (I can't decide whether to post it yet), but some of my most interesting shots were of buildings. I shot this one because of the old Redua Cokolada (Chocolate) ad. I've never seen Redua in stores, so I'm assuming the company is out of business. In addition, because the Communists placed substantial restrictions on advertising (with many exceptions like Skoda, Bata, and so on), I was wondering if the company predated 1948.

These were blocks of flats on the final curve as Stara Linka 011 heads into Hlavni Nadrazi. The yellowish coloring is from the setting sunlight.
