Along Eastern Parkway and into the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens, all of a snowy day

My tracks in the snow...

and squirrel tracks in the snow, also ...

The frozen pond in the Japanese Garden.

A child plays hide-and-seek wearing a bright blue parka.

My favorite place, sometimes, is the path between this double row of ginkgo trees.

FLAGS flags FlaGS fLAgS at Tom's Restaurant, Brooklyn

A lot of guilt-free flag waving today as the 44th president, Barack Hussein Obama, takes office. Hooray!

A departure from the usual photos, but I am very sick of this war, and I am very sick of all of the wars.

All photos have been appropriated, taken from various sites. There were so many hundreds of photos just like these that they all became the same photograph. Unfortunately.
