The Mall in Central Park
Uploaded: 12/18/11 3:42 PM GMT
We have not really gotten any snow here (but it is 23 degrees F today). This is another one I took back in January 2011. I had spent the very early morning in Central Park walking around in the freshly fallen snow, in some places it was almost waist deep! This is a challenging image to capture because there is almost always people here.

The Icon is from a pencil drawing I did years ago and scanned it into photoshop where I cleaned it up and colored it.... when I find the time, I am going to rescan it and re-draw it in Illustrator. The original drawing is 10x7 inches and shows the upper torso and an arm.

So very true. Hoever, donations like that keep this site going. If I remember correctly - that is one months worth. I think that is commendable. And trust in the fact that I am quite thankful that caedes had the imagination and resources to create this magnificent site. I'd go nuts without it! HAHA!

Thanks for the feedback!
Actually Piner, this is not a pocket watch, it is a desk clock - it is not flat, but spherical. You might see what I mean if you look at the reflection on the front. It was a fairly unique gift I received, and one I appreciate, because like you I am fond of pocketwatches, but I never wear shirts with pockets in them... so this is something practical I can use.
If you like I can send you an unedited photo, that is what I originally intended to post but it turned out looking a bit bland.

I had a day off ( I need at least that much time to browse your whole gallery), and the kids were not climbing on my back or picking on each other, for a change. LOL!
I spent my day traveling around the globe with you. Great experience that I recommend to anyone that has the time. :c)

Hi Tom, thanks for the bird ID. I thought the white one was a cockatoo, but had no idea what the smaller one was. They were very nervous and suspicious because the place where I took the photos is a sanctuary for neglected and abused birds and some of them haven't regained their trust in humans and maybe never will. I watched these two for a while and they seemed particularly close. Thanks again, and also for your comment on the photo.

Thanks for your comment on "Dartmoor", Piner. I didn't notice that tree at the time - when I saw it in the picture I wished I'd got a closer look. It's not somewhere we go very often, and we rarely go to the same area twice as the moor is so large, but if I do get back there I'll see what I can do....

I'm glad you liked "Sinner's Lament," the black and white gargoyle in my gallery. When I shot it, there were lots of small discolorations in the masonry of the cathedral, and it really didn't look very good, but when I converted it to B&W, they all disappeared! Thanks for your comment.

Thanks for taking the time to comment on 'Milly's warm smile' I agree about the contrast between the nose - now that I look at it. I confess I used the Sharp filter in P/shop, and being in a hurry didn't really examine the result!!! But I will be a bit more careful next time!!! I thought the story of your sister funny - I'd love to see some shots of that patient cat!!! Cheers...
