Winter. Week 5 -52

 It is bitterly cold in New York right now.  Figured it was a good time to take care of the winter theme.
At the bottom of our street is a lake, a dam and the long island sound.  The lake often freezes but this is the first time I have seen the sound freeze.  I could barely feel my fingers as I clicked away.

 This poor little guy was walking across the lake wondering where the water went.  You have wings you silly fool - FLY SOUTH!!!

This is the lake side, with the sun beaming down and the heron sculpture.

 The morning light on our snowy log pile.


A bush covered in snow but it could almost pass for a pine forest!

Domestic Animals - Week 4 - 52

I always thought of myself as a dog person. In fact, growing up, I actually remember disliking cats.  Then we got this guy.  He's the best.  We adopted him from a spay and neuter program that picks up feral cats in Brooklyn and Queens.  Turned out his mother was pregnant so they let her have the litter and then put the kittens up for adoption.


Love the way he totally tucks his legs underneath himself.

City. Week 3 - 52

I had a whole morning to myself.  Well, me and my camera...  I strolled through Manhattan and got a big dose of city.  It was wonderful.  This was my favourite because it captures an NYPD car, elevated tracks, scaffolding and stores... the nitty gritty of the city.  Here are some others that captured the cold, foggy january morning in the city. 

Loved all these straight lines
 No city is a city without graffiti
 This is winter.
Manhattan drivers heading into the fog!

Loneliness/Abandonment. Week 2 - 52

This theme kind of scared me.  I didn't want to have to take a photo of an abandoned kitten or a lonely person.  So when I came across this abandoned old building I didn't waste any time in taking pictures.   Pretty sure someone is living in there (lonely?) and they have set themselves up with some cable....

Rejects from my 366




Just going through old photos that never made it onto my 366.  Mainly because they didn't fit the theme that day or they were just plain old rejects.
