The prompt for Week 36: All is calm

Very late Christmas night—and all the 
presents were unwrapped, dinner over, and 
family departed.  As I was clearing and cleaning up, 
I relit the candles and picked up my camera to capture 
the calm at the end of a very full, wonderful day.
(And I hope you all enjoyed the same.)

Weekend Reflections

Haven't posted here in a while—just
too too much to do to prepare
for Christmas.  I'm still scrambling to 
get it all done, but at least the tree is up.
Happy Holidays, everyone!

The prompt for Week 35:
The Road I Travel

Well, it's not exactly the road I travel on
a daily basis, but just about a week
from now I'll leave the madness
of Manhattan and head down to Virginia
to celebrate the New Year with friends
and relatives in the peaceful
Shenandoah Valley (where I took 
this shot at this time last year).

The prompt for Week 34: What's Cooking?

It's a perfect pasta dish, just part of a
delicious lesson in pairing food and
wine to best complement each other.
Part of the appeal for me, I must admit,
is that someone else cooked it!

The prompt for Week 33:  What do a morning
 and evening of the same day look like for you?

Lately as I've crossed the bridge from Brooklyn
to Manhattan in the morning, I've had mostly
blue skies for my commute.  I find myself going home
over the bridge way less often now that it's dark so early—
and especially when the weather is like this.

The prompt for Week 32: The Skies Above

I took this shot as I was walking home at dusk
over the Brooklyn Bridge and the full moon
was rising over the Manhattan Bridge.

Weekend Reflections

This little guy (who's about 3 inches long) might
grow up to be more than 4 feet long and weigh over
600 pounds, and live to be 100 years old!  In the Galapagos,
giant sea tortoise eggs are collected and incubated.  Then the
hatchlings are hand-raised for 5 years, until their shell is
hard enough to protect them from predators.
