Without Lifting A Finger

A combination of things kept me from getting any really good photos of the fireworks at the Long Beach family-friendly celebration (fireworks @ 9 PM): camera (always a factor), location (the stage lights interfered too much with my shots), and lackluster inspiration (I was less interested in the photos than "soaking it all in"). In the morning, I decided to record the good omens (IMO): foggy lagoon and New Year's squirrel, and eschew the bad: the car wreck at the corner (roughly 8 A.M.) with attendant police and flashing rescue vehicles. Anyway, here's to 2014. ***                             

        



Nice day overall. Better to go way before Oct. 31: the mob is mobbing for Nostalgia. Most of it's "repetition," so I took just a few photos (I don't know grandma).                             

We walked down late afternoon. Very little still on the sidewalk and they were having a contest in front of the Chase Bank. Anyway, here's what I walked away with.                                                             

New Year Numerals 13 for New Year's Eve in Times Square , a photo by NYC♥NYC on Flickr. Almost my lucky number.
