A basket of books at the Urgent Care waiting room. The Delaware County District Library offers the gift of a book as you wait.
There was a basket of children’s books on another end table. I took a James Patterson mystery titled Mary Mary for my sister Mary.
I read the recipes in one but left it for someone else.
Thank you Friends at the Delaware County District Library.
(My son Mark had a scratched cornea-ouch– our reason for being there. He’s on the mend)

Thanks to the development of new technology and social media, more photographs are created, viewed, and shared today than ever before. Public Eye, the first-ever retrospective survey of photography organized by NYPL, takes advantage of this moment to reframe the way we look at photographs from the past.”

I convinced Mary to pose with me under the giant mirror when the crowd was sparse.

One of the coolest things to do with one of your own photographs is create an animated gif file or a stereographic 3 D image. This is something the students can do from a computer.
Here is a photo I created from a shot of a saxophonist in Central Park last Sunday

Right across from the hornet nest is one of the free standing libraries I’ve read about. Right in someone’s front yard.
We walked over and opened the glass door. Beautiful craftsmanship and the wood unweathered.
Turns out it was installed just this June.
We didn’t take a book but it was a nice find. And now we know where we can go to get a book, twenty four hours a day.
The plaque said Nicholas C Ridge Free Library and if you click on the link you can read the story.
The light was waning but took a few shots.
