That’s me taking my shadow picture.

Thor–A True Treasure

Thor sleeping on the couch. His favorite blanket underneath him.

Thor’s closeup.

Thor loves to sleep.  In fact, he sleeps most of the day and night. In his closeup, you can see that his snout is gray. He will be 8 years-old in October. He is my treasure, my best friend

Vosburgh Swamp Preserve

Canoes sat near the shore–there for the taking.

My dog, Thor, photo bombed this shot.

This past Saturday, I went for a walk in a park I had never been to before.  The Vosburgh Swamp Preserve runs along the west side of the Hudson River between the towns of Coxsackie and Athens, NY. It is a lovely, quiet area at least this time of year.  I’m not sure I’d stop by in autumn when it’s deer hunting season.

First Flowers in March

Flowers in the Driveway.

Yesterday these flowers were purple buds. Today they’ve fully bloomed. Spring happens so fast.  Until the colors catch our eyes, we don’t see the change of season taking place. Then, all at once, it’s everywhere we look.

Connection

Outside an Antique Store

I took this picture in late autumn, 2015 on a highway outside Coxsackie, NY.  I was turning around in the parking lot and caught sight of this old car.  After walking up and down aisles of old furniture, clothing, books, glassware and jewelry, my mind was on the past. There was the rusty car–yet another connection to a time I vaguely recall.

Solitude

The Long Beach Boardwalk in March

There were so few people on the boardwalk this March morning that I was able to take a picture with no one visible.  I love the beach off season.
