Snowy NYC

 On the 1 train downtown

When this woman sat across from me on the subway I wanted to (and normally would have) immediately gotten up and changed cars.  This time I didn't.  I just took her in.  Whenever I see this I always wonder if the person is wearing it for their own protection or for ours - I hope it's the latter.  I am always caught off guard by it.  It is usually in airports and on the street occasionally, rarely in the subway.  This sort of thing always reminds me, in a small way, of my humanity and how an element of trust is required to live among so many different kinds of people...

Christmas Hot Chocolate Joy

I took this back in November but am posting it now because the memory of this day brings me joy.  My sister Ann and I were attempting in comic vain to get all four of her beautiful girls to sit and actually pose for the camera.  It was quite hilarious.  Evie's (far left) expression is priceless - I love that I was able to capture it. 

Happiness.
