On a day like today

Saturday morning

Is there a theme to this?

One thing that links all of these images together?

Emptiness.  And full.

Bridge Beams

Discarded

A Christmas tree lays on the sidewalk at the curb

awaiting the garbage truck.

Has it really fulfilled its purpose?

Madi

Not only a palindrome...

it also reads the same UPSIDE DOWN!

Sector 9

When it's time to change...

This was in the men's locker room of a NYC dance studio space

See?  

Dad's change diapers, too.

Street Lights Because We Don't Have Stars

Point of view

This photo was taken thru the safety mesh

while walking across the Broadway Bridge

above the Harlem River

The framing of the building in the distance was a pure accident

Cool

Warm for the winter

some of the plants from outside the building 

have been taken INSIDE for the winter

it's nice to be warm

Penny the Practically Perfect Poodle

So, I still don't have my camera; I am having withdrawals and although this photo isn't within the "criteria" of the blog and it also wasn't taken today, I just wanted to record my practically perfect poodle, Penny's, 15th birthday; it isn't everyday you celebrate turning 105 years old!

Stylish Safety

Open Door

For the first time in 27 years, our pantry has a door. But I've found that, more often than not, I leave the door open, anyway.

Fall in Winter

In Los Angeles, we don't have many trees that turn those luscious fall colors. But the few that do, tend to last well into winter.

January Rose Bush

In January, the roses are all cut back so severely. I always feel so sorry for the little bushes. Here's a gardener who couldn't quite do it.

A zillion pillows

I have been battling insomnia lately.

Yesterday we were out and about and I saw this display made from pillows.

It caught my eye.

I stopped and stared.  And took a photo.

I guess my subconscious was telling me something.
