Weekend Reflections

With everything lit up the way it is, you're
bound to find some reflections in Times Square
at night. When I took the picture, I only saw
one—but now I see a couple more.

52 Photos Project

Week 1—the prompt:
What are you beginning right now?

I've started making cards with some of my photos. 

Lots of different sorts of images, but these—
peonies in various stages of their life cycle—definitely 
seem to go together. (The idea is to sell them, but I haven't 
figured that part out yet. Perhaps I need to "own" them first.)

Project 52—"things that grow"

This week's challenge was absurdly
easy—or maybe not since there's too
much to choose from. I finally decided on
one of my faves that are blooming
right now: bleeding hearts
(so aptly named, aren't they?).

52 Photos Project

The prompt this week: the Golden Hour 
(the magic light the sun casts before it fades and sets)



I found this gorgeous golden light back in the 
Kodachrome era, when I vacationed in Antigua 
and stayed at a house with an OMG view.

Project 52—"sacrifice"

** Easter 1984 **
From the moment they were born,
there was nothing I wouldn't
sacrifice for my girls . . .

And even though they're all
grown up, I still feel the same.

Spring has Sprung!

I walked past this place last week and I'm
pretty sure none of these flowers were there
—could they really have popped up so quickly?

52 Photos Project

The prompt this week: Spring Is On!
What beauty have you found outside your door?

My Brooklyn apartment building doesn't
have a very large garden, but we do have

 one of these beauties at each corner.  
And when they bloom (as they are right now, a 
bit early this year), they make me very happy!

Project 52—"foolin' around"

While he was being silly and posing for his friends,
I'll bet this kid found some respect for the man
who really did hold that pose for the sculptor!

Weekend Reflections

The owners of this East Side brownstone
have added a nifty greenhouse window.
They might have a privacy problem when
the lights are on in there though.

52 Photos Project

The prompt this week: Me—a self-portrait

Intriguing assignment, and not that easy

(I'm the one behind the camera for a reason)!
But thanks to a fun photo website,
here I am bigger than life in Times Square.
I'm curious to see the rest of you!
