Watcher

This is an older photograph, taken in January at St. James Park.  This duck captured my intention immediately.  All of the other ducks were flapping around, quacking, swimming, fighting with one another... and this one just stood, watching.  It looked so pensieve, like it was analyzing the movements of the other ducks.  A commentator, a watcher, rather than a participator.

I thought that black swans were a myth. 

Like unicorns, manticores and dragons, I thought that black swans were invented creatures who lived in our imaginations, not in the real world. St. James Park proved me wrong.  I came across this beauty, who walked right up to me, then proceeded to groom itself in the shallow water.  The music of swan lake filled my mind as I watched.

In the Lamplight

The withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan

Snowy Garden

This is a view of St. James Park in London.  Everyone in London gets terrified when there is this much snow.  Planes don't fly.  People stock up on food.  Having grown up in the Northeastern United States, I thought this was absolutely ridiculous.  I love a little dusting of snow.  I think it's pretty.  This photograph seems to prove my case.

In a New York Minute

I am going home so soon, it's insane.  In a month I'll be back in New York taking classes.

That, with my entrance into Polka Dot's amazing May Day competition (for which you can vote for me HERE)  reminded me that I had another blog once. A fashion blog.  I did it last spring, and revived it this september, then let it go again.  In celebration of May Day, and my wanting to shed some winter pounds and pump up the style, it's back.  Posts will probably be infrequent until I return to the US, but I want to get a start on it. For a look, just click on the picture below.  

(Yes, it is the one on this page as my ID photo, and yes, it's the same place where Fancy a Game? was taken)
