Pictures of My 'Hood

i think my blog needs some photos. we didn't get the snowstorm predicted (naturally), but we did get a little and i thought it would be ok to snap some shots around my neighborhood today. it sure was cold (about 27 F) and windy, especially by the river. based on the overwhelming response to my camera request, these were taken not with a new camera, but with the little fuji with the cracked screen. you can click on the images to see them larger.

here is the frenchtown bridge over the delaware river and a shot of the river to the north. frenchtown has a big parade and block party on bastille day in july. that's pennsylvania on the other side of the bridge.

here's a photo of our favorite thai restaurant, now closed due to old electrical wiring that the building owner refused to update. we have not had thai chili food in over a year.

the lonely view down river road.

a disgruntled neighbor exercising the first amendment.

one of our neighbors has a dairy farm.

another one has horses.

deer tracks and my shadow.

here's a little creek that i know black bear visit for drinking. so far, i've not seen one.

icicles on rocks are neat.

here's the one lane bridge on our street over the lockatong creek.

view to the east of the bridge. you can ice skate on the pond on top when it's cold enough, but it hasn't been cold enough in a couple of years.

the lockatong west of the bridge towards our house.

i had fun taking these, despite the cold. one of my new year's resolutions is to take more photos and keep the camera handy.
