14K - bragging

Entered this photo in a Fotki photo contest. These are just fun contests with no prizes or money, just bragging rights.

Anyway, my "14K" photo was #13 out of 95. Yaay!

Early Morning Shadows in the City

I had to go into Boston last Friday morning, very early in the morning and while staring out the window on the 5th floor I was amused by the long early dawn shadows being cast in a little patch of sun.

 

There were a lot of interesting photo ops, as I don't get to the city often. I saw a bus back into a taxi cab and the ensuing 'discussions' and picture-taking (MY pictures of it were not that interesting).

None of the photos I took that day quite compared to these shadow pics. I am pleased with them. Not bad for a pocket size point & shoot.

Taken with a FujiFilm FinePix A820 - my "ghost-hunting camera"!

Some kind of hawk.

Got your book, Jason?

Been using my "pocketable" FujiFilm camera on our walks lately so I can concentrate on keeping upright on the icy paths, and in case I do fall, it will be protected in my pocket. The one time I did fall, however, it fell out of my pocket and I didn't notice it missing until a few minutes later. Oops. lol

At Massasoit State Park

We haven't done a lot of walking since the snow got too hard to navigate. It wouldn't be so bad now if it wasn't frozen. We went once or twice last week, but the last few days has been great snow-melting weather so hopefully things will be much better there now. We'll be going this week for sure. We were talking about tomorrow but it might be too rainy (which will help get rid of the snow). Can't wait...need the exercise badly.

Healthy Trail

Icy Shore

Can't wait till I can post nice warm-themed photos. Anyway, I guess I could be a little more creative and shoot something besides the outdoor scenery - pretty as it is, it is getting old. All my interests have kind of taken a backseat from feeling sorry for myself these days. But lately I can see the weather improving and I feel the worst of this winter is behind us. I hope I'm right.
Recently, my interest in paranormal investigating ("ghost hunting") returned with a vengeance. I can't say I didn't know it had faded, but I didn't realize just how much until it returned. There's just so much on my mind these days...
I definitely need a vacation very soon. lately it seems a lot of people I know are off to Florida...either there now or going soon. I wonder if I can stow away. lol.

My son Jason has ID'd this as a Merganser. There were a few in the canal and I heard someone say they only show up there in the winter.
