Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned. ~Buddha
Today was fun. I needed to go downtown so I took the river walk. I hadn’t been all the way down to the water for almost 5 days and it felt wonderful. Settles me right down.
The only downside? I have been averaging 15-20 shots a day. Today I took 111. It is extremely difficult to choose the contenders for the blog and then “work” them and then select just one picture in under a day (at least it is if you have any life at all and are not getting paid to do it!)…
So I didn’t…Choose that is…
“Time, time, time, see what’s become of me
While I looked around
For my possibilities
I was so hard to please
But look around, leaves are brown
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter” – Paul Simon
Of course to get to the river I first have to go through Riverside Park…
Lots of animals by the river today…I am sure there would have been more except for this one.
Clay Court Cat
Lots of beasts on and above the river too…
“Hang on to your hopes, my friend
That’s an easy thing to say, but if your hope should pass away
It’s simply pretend
That you can build them again”

One wonders what birds they are to the left in the picture…
The weather didn’t look too nice.
How cute with the cat on the bench!

I was hoping you could tell me what kind of ducks – geese? – they were… The weather was very foggy but, continuing in our unwinter, quite warm. I do love the tennis court cats.

I do to. S/he has a partner but I don’t know where they were.

Thank you. Come along anytime.

Guess I’ll have to put on Paul’s “a hazy shade of winter” now that I’ve been reminded I haven’t listened to that album in a while–oh the joyful pain of it all–thanks.

I love that album. the song always comes up for me on foggy winter days.

Love the mossy green one.

Me too. I think I see a face in there.
