“Everything Must Go, Even my Dog Toto!”

"Everything must go, even my dog Toto. And my ex wife, too!"

I was walking down 125th street, past these two trying to entice people to go into their store that had a sale. When the man on the right mentioned his dog Toto and ex wife, I burst out laughing and backtracked to take their photo. I’m sure they were able to get a lot of people to stop by their store that day.

Store Signs and Pigeons

The pigeons seem to find this shoe store sign a comfortable place to hang out and enjoy the warmth of the sun.

Seems as if each bird has a favorite letter.

This one has the letter "O" all to himself.

There is not death!

The stars go down to rise upon some other shore,

and bright in heaven’s jeweled crown,

they shine for ever more.

Snowy Day

It snowed last Saturday. I no longer have dogs to walk in rain, heat, snow, etc… and I had a fridge full of food. So I had no real reason to go out, if I didn’t have to. But I did. I went to pick up my new glasses. I took these photos with my new cell phone that a friend gave me for Christmas. It takes pretty good photos. Not bad at all.

I forgot to wear my boots. Yikes! But I survived my walk.
