The prompt for Week 42—"orange"

Here's something I'm really looking forward to,
especially considering the frigid, frigid
temps (and snow) we've been dealing with here lately.
(I've also been having fun playing along with
Xanthe and Andrea @colorcolourlovers, so this shot
will definitely show up on Instagram too.)

The prompt for Week 41: "This smells heavenly"

And did it ever!  I smelled this lavender (for
sale at my local greenmarket) long before I actually
saw it—and just followed my nose right 
to it.  In addition to these fragrant sachets, there
was also fresh lavender, in pots and bouquets.

The prompt for Week 40—"before and after"

I guess this is actually before, during,
and after—but this tree peony was 
just so gorgeous in full fabulous bloom!

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.
