52 Photos Project

The prompt for Week 39—"wildlife"

Well, I live in the city, so it was basically a squirrel,
a rat, a pigeon . . . or this shot from my recent 

New Year's visit to Florida—where this little guy was
sunning himself on the "cage" that encloses 
my friends' pool and patio.

The prompt for Week 38:  "teal"

This monument on his tombstone celebrates
the French artist Théodore Géricault,
who died when he was only 32. His most famous
work, painted when he was 27, was the
(at the time) controversial "Raft of the Medusa"
(which can be seen at the Louvre).

The prompt for Week 37: "my collection"

I have a small collection of salt cellars and
another of egg cups, and lots and lots of travel books. 

But my most longstanding collecting
"obsession" is the Eiffel Tower.
This is only a part of it; the smallest ET
I have is about an inch tall . . .

and the biggest 3 feet+.

The prompt for Week 36: "nature's gifts"

As I compose this post, the weather here in
NYC features snow and freezing temps.
But I got to spend last week 1,000 miles south
of here, with hot sun, palm trees—and
fresh hibiscus blossoms to gather and admire.
