2014 Year of the Horse 4712

Friday marked the Lunar New Year 4712, the year of the Horse. Sunday was the New York City parade in Chinatown, Manhattan. We got set up near the beginning and we were the second row behind the barrier so we had a good spot. The parade started at 1 and the last float passed us about 10 minutes after 2. I guess with the Super Bowl being played across the Hudson River people avoided the city. We hit little to no traffic on our way up or on the return trip. An d the big plus was the below freezing temperatures last week were gone and the snow of this week hadn't gotten there yet. A good day. Long. But good.

The Keeper's House

The original Keeper's house for the Concord Point Lighthouse, in Havre de Grace, Maryland, was a single story house built along with the Lighthouse in 1827. (The light is across the street) John O'Neill was the first Lighthouse Keeper. He served for $350 a year until his death in 1838. In 1884 the roof was raised to a two-story level and the attached kitchen was improved.

Into the Woods

Another shot of the old forgetten farmhouse. This one from the front yard, but looking into the sun.

Farm in Winter

The last time I posted this farm I was looking for some good Fall pictures. Well last Saturday I was looking for some good winter pictures. How'd I do?

Better Days

Saturday afternoon I had an opportunity to take a quick drive looking for some snowy goodness. Yeah, I've shot this barn before, but one more time won't hurt.
