Pretty as a Picture

 

This one just makes me smile.

That's good.

I feel I haven't smiled enough lately.

Sittin' at the Railway Station

 

Got a ticket for my destination.

Sorry, Mr. Simon. I felt the need to sing.

Spread Your Wings!

 

I will spread my wings! I will soar!

Or, I'll just sit back on down in the pond.

Two-Faced

 

Supposedly, these ward off evil spirits and bad luck.

Um.

Okay.

Flitterfly

 

Just flittin' through ...

Double Decker

 

NJ Transit double-decker trains on the Raritan Valley Line rock. I don't miss the old brown seats at all.

Dig the Underground

 

 

Yeah, man. I dig the underground scene.

Don't you?

Don't Eat Them

 

No, don't eat them.

You will DIE.

Well, maybe just get sick.

If you eat them, it's not that I didn't try to save your life.

Christine?

 

When I saw this tucked away in a backyard, all I could think of was Stephen King's Christine.

The Lonely Window

 

Ghosts of buildings past haunt the lonely window, yet she lets her drapes fly in the wind.

Longlegged Party

 

Daddy Longlegs gone wild. It must have been a party.

I wasn't invited.

That's fine.

I didn't want to go.

Keeping Santa Safe

 

I guess this is what happens to Santa in the off season -- he's relegated to a decrepit abandoned locksmith shop in Virginia.

I Continue to See Dead People

 

I'm still seeing dead people. They still haven't learned.

Margarita Time!

 

Nothing like a drink on the veranda at an oceanfront beach house. Well, it would have probably been better on the other side of the house which faced the ocean. But, enough margaritas and that just won't matter.

Who's a Pretty Kitty?

 

Aw, who's a pretty kitty?

"Knock that off," says Vincent the Cat. 

The Groundhog

 

Yeah, I'm a groundhog.

Got a problem wit' dat?

I'm a NEW JERSEY groundhog.

I be tough.

Late Day Sun on the 'shrooms

 

Jus' sittin' in the sun.

Grate Faces

 

Graffiti art on a business security grate in Plainfield, NJ.

My Eyes! My Eyes!

 

Some things you just can unsee after they've been seen.

You're welcome.

Raccoon Love

 

This photo predates my digital days. It also predates the arrival of raccoon rabies in Connecticut. This was my buddy, Lil Mama. It was a two year friendship.

Is It a Tiger?

 

It's at the very least a relative of the tiger, I'm sure. I didn't get too close because I'm sure it was ferocious.

I Don't Think That's a Cow

 

While vacationing in Texas, a friend from Brooklyn thought they were all cows. This is not a cow.

It must be a goat.

Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay

 

Wastin' time ... oh, yeah.

The Dark Penn

 

Newark Penn can be a scary place. Especially when I mess with the photo editor. Or, if there are rats. There are rats at night there. I've seen them. They just don't cooperate with my camera.

The Neverending Summer

 

Celebrating the 4th of July in Plainfield, NJ.

Abandoned House

 

Since I took this photo, this house has been sold and cut into apartments. I still wouldn't live there.

A Horse in Times Square

 

While there are all kinds of complaints and a movement to get rid of hansom carriage horses, the mayor says nothing of the police horses. 

Eek, a Horse!

 

I'll hug him and squeeze him and call him George!

Wrong Track

 

So often in my life I have felt like I've been waiting for my ship to come in on the wrong track.

Or something like that.

We've Come to Eat Your Brains

 

Creepy dolls in a window of a shop in the West Village.

Love Me a Lily

 

I like flowers. I don't grow them. I don't buy them. And, it's extremely rare, almost never, that anyone gives me them. But, I do like flowers.

The Colors of Autumn

 

One last burst of color and then they're gone. Kind of like a shooting star.

But slower.

Reflection on a Bird

 

A bird walking on the beach is reflected in the wet sand. Coolio.

Single in the City

 

Real life isn't as glamorous as television shows.

Unless you're living a way different life from me, that is.

Then again, no one I know is like me.

Sometimes I like it that way.

Good Morning, Glory!

 

What a glorious color for a morning glory!

Sax on the Sidewalk

 

Forever alone, will never know love. 

Okay, it's not a saxophone. But I liked the title anyway!
