Lost Dog Hudson Park
Found by my sister Mary who sent this pic from NYC
You take a favorite toy and …
You photograph your child/grandchild’s toy around the house, “doing” different activities. You can create a photo book and add some text. They will love it!
Meet Lyle.
I bought Lyle at the Carnegie Museum when grandson Charlie visited about 8 years ago. Charlie gave him his name Lyle.
Charlie is 11 now.
I did it for granddaughter Prema’s (now 11) stuffed ballerina dragon, too but that’s another story

Pittsburgh has Mounted Police
Who knew?
As the mounted police walked past our car they waved to my grandson in the back seat. It was such an unexpected scene and so kind of them to wave.
My granddaughter Prema photographed them and this is why one needs to keep the car windows clean !

The Two Pelicans Who Left the Zoo Have Been Found
Here’s the news – two pelicans (Joey and Felicity) were missing from the zoo on Saturday
And here’s the news that they’ve been recovered!
Then I saw the news that two pelicans had left their habitat. There was a hotline where citizens could report a sighting.
Below are two recent photos I took of the pelicans.

A Lone Azalea Blossom in Mid October
My azalea has only ever bloomed in the Spring. and when it does bloom,the whole bush is covered with white blossoms. Today as I was taking stock of the end of the garden season I noticed a lone white blossom on the bush. It just seemed unusual to me.
Between the Lines
We were playing baseball in the backyard.
My almost three year old grandson called to me
“ I see eagles!”
This bird is an Osprey (Pandion haliaetus), often nicknamed the “fish hawk” or “sea hawk.” It’s the M shaped wings silhouette and white markings that are the clues.
Born as Early as 1820
From my mother’s hometown of Durand, Illinois.
I think number 3 and 6 are ancestors of mine due to their last names. I see no family resemblance though and I’d best do some more serious research on theh possibility.
But I love this photograph found in my mother’s things.
