It’s like some sort of ritual around here. Snow falls, people go out to Prospect Park. Middle of a blizzard and parents take their kids sledding. Others go cross country skiing or walk their dogs (as far as I could…
This is the last of the pictures I took before I had everything set up for editing. M was on a tree identifying kick and wanted to go to the park. I went with him figuring I’d get some pretty…
I took a bunch of pictures (as in close to 200) Saturday night and my plan was to share my favorites of those today. I did a first run through, removing the pictures that didn’t work at all and ran…
