Banks And Birds

These are the kind of banks I like--banks of the mighty Hudson River.

Lurk ESB

Bird Bath

Be careful, when parking under trees. Things could have been worse...this could have been MY car. ;]

Please, could you go to this site and make witty comments on the photo there? It's a photo of a bird with some alligators. I'm sure you can come up with something funny.

Hudson Night ESB

"Magic hour" on the Hudson...

Sunset Incident

From the banks of the mighty Hudson River, late afternoon light reflects off buildings of lower Manhattan at an incident angle to the camera.

EXTRA: I looked at last November's photos (2007) and found an interesting one from Kasaan Bay, Alaska to compare to the one for today. Oh, if you click the link, once there, you will need to scroll for the sunset photo. Yes, you will recognize it.

Lower Manhattan

This afternoon, some sunlight breaks through the clouds to fall on buildings of lower Manhattan.

Van Back

So, I caught this horrible cold a few days ago and finally resorted to using the Robitussin®. Hey, the stuff works pretty well. Anyway, I sort of forgot about posting here for a couple days. Getting sick sucks!

Well, okay, the colors of the late afternoon....

Obama Wins!

The little man walked in Times Square Tuesday night to find out that Barack Obama has become our President-Elect. Thousands of people cheered the large screen. The most unlikely of candidates has won the election and shown the best of the United States of America. Hope has beaten fear, ability beat cynicism, and we are all the better for it.

New Era

On November 1st, Weeki Wachee Springs became a Florida state park. Here, Tommy Ervin, inaugural park manager, and two current mermaids take part in a weekend jazz fest held at the park.

I wish Mr. Ervin all the best in his future efforts and look forward to visiting Weeki Wachee for decades to come.

State Park

As of today, Weeki Wachee Springs becomes a Florida state park. Here workers install some new signs.
