More Signs of the Season

I am a complete sucker for the austere beauty of bare branches.

Here in the park in Northport Village, Long Island.

Here seen from the bus in the late afternoon somewhere in New Jersey.

 In New Jersey too, as the sun was setting.

Union Square. Wednesday.

Such parsnips as dreams are made on....like some small forest of animate

 parsnip-creatures waving their arms in the air.

ABC Carpet

And the very apotheosis of the Christmas cushion.

If you had this you really wouldn't have to bother with any other decorations at all......

New Jersey Woods

Ah! The romance of bare branches.

Taken at noon on New Year's Day.

Wishing you all a healthy, happy and prosperous

 New Year.

My main blog is now here.

Escape from New York or Shadow Shot Sunday

Looking back on New York from the Pallisades Parkway in New Jersey.

The west side of New York from the West Side Highway. The Empire State Building is oddly recognizable.
Shadow Shot Sunday.

See Heyharriet for details and more participants.
