The prompt for Week 35: "fresh start"

I gave up caffeine many, many years ago.
So this is what I look forward to when the
alarm goes off at the crack of dawn: a big
glass of water with slices of fresh Meyer lemon.
Now that's a fresh way to start the day!

The prompt for Week 34: "favorite photo taken in 2014"

Choosing one photo out of thousands (yes,
thousands) is not so easy.  But if I must, it has to
be this serendipitous shot taken with my iPhone last
January: a foggy Brooklyn Bridge sunrise.

Happy Holidays, everyone!

The prompt for Week 33: "sweets of the season"

I wasn't sure what I was going to
post for this one; then a gingerbread house
was delivered to our office—perfect!

The prompt for Week 32: "red"

Happy Holidays from NYC!
These ornaments are huge, and they put them here every year—
I've always wondered where they store them the other 11 months.
(Your first thought when you live in a typical NY apartment!)

The prompt for Week 31: This makes me happy

I may wish I'd saved this image in a few weeks,
but getting the tree up (this is last year's)
does make me happy—and when my
 kids come over and help me with it, that
makes me very happy (hint, hint)!

The prompt for Week 30: "look down"

This past September when I was in Paris, 
I went up to Montmartre and shot this vertiginous
view from the top of the rue Drevet stairs.

The prompt for Week 29: "vintage architecture"

Old buildings it is, and here's my favorite:
This is the portico of the Pantheon in Rome. It was
rebuilt by Emperor Hadrian in 126 AD, but
the original structure is exactly 2000 years old!

And it still has the world's largest
unreinforced concrete dome.
