Winter Abstracts: Looking Up, Looking Down

One will dry up and blow away. The other will just dry up. They'll both be soon gone.

 
A bit of fence along the boardwalk in the center of town.

Railings at the Post Office.

 Old Glory's rippling reflection in the icy slush of Tuxis Pond.

Snow and Nature's Slushies along the pond's edges.

The edges of Tuxis Pond are slowly turning to ice; the resident turtles are nowhere to be see— patiently waiting for the next warm and sunny spring day.

Oh, yeah? This old tree on Wall Street has room to rent.

    The Tuxis Pond shots were a big hit with me today. First the reflection of Old Glory in the icy slush of the pond, I can almost hear her calling out...'help me, help me.'

    And the edges of Tuxis Pond slowly turning to ice........wonderful picture, love the lines and the shadows taking me to an icy nowhere.

    MARE, WOULDN'T IT BE FUN TO SPEND JUST ONE FULL DAY WITH CASEY. I WOULD BE ANAVENTURE IN MANY WAYS BECAUSE I'D LOVE TO SNOOP THROUGH HIS THINGS. THEN WISH I HAD A FEW OF THEM.
    I THINK I'D RATHER TAKE THAT WALK RIDING ON MY SCOOTER IN THE SPRING.
