Because I can't think, I'll do a photo post.

A few shots I've taken lately.



A hawk near my home. (Cooper's Hawk, I think, although I'm not great at identification of birds.)



The same hawk in flight.



Sad chairs in the snow. (Taken in January.)



The Gershwin Hotel in Manhattan. (Can't decide if I've tweaked this one too much or not enough.)
