Photo Challenge


Gina, Mitch, and I have challenged each other to take a photo per day. We began today, a good day to begin since we have our first snow of the season. I took several photos and I'm sure they did too. Gina and I are going to try and blog everyday too. It should be easier for me given my retirement status. Gina has 3 jobs and is always busy but I think she'll blog more regularly than I will. But I do like challenges so I may just keep up with her.

It began snowing this a.m. The forecast was for 6 to 10 inches but I would say we only have about 5 inches.It has stopped snowing for the moment but may snow more during the night. It is very pretty outside, like it always is with freshly fallen snow. Tomorrow I'm going to walk through Crosby Park. It is full of spooky old trees, a beaver dam (still haven't been able to get a photo of the beavers), deer, at least one red fox, and various other animals, all in the heart of the city.

Today's photo is the view outside my apartment. You can see the tracks on which the train goes by several times a day. I love the sounds of trains. Trains bring back memories of my grandmother coming to visit us, my trips to New York City on the Phoebe Snow, and the McBride farm in Chester, NY. The railroad tracks were across from the black earth onion farm Uncle Will and Aunt Carrie operated.
