Taking a walk







Took a walk because I was in a good mood and it was a somewhat sunny day. Just around my neighborhood. There's something about the empty playground with the forgotten ball that seems somber. The sunset was gorgeous, although my camera doesn't capture it well. The rustic archway was just really interesting.

Monster - not quite Hunger, but close


This guy isn't done yet, his head is still open. He's based on the orange "Hunger" monster from the latest round of Weight Watchers commercials. He needs eyebrows, and maybe eyelids. I'm not a huge fan of the eyes. I wanted something bigger, but they didn't have any at the store. He's still kind of cute. 24 inches tall. Made out of fur I had bought on sale, longer haired stuff would look more like the monster. We shall see, he wasn't that difficult to make - took an evening for all this. maybe he needs elbows...

Jim Thorpe, PA - Broadway House











I spent the night after the concert in the Broadway House part of the Inn at Jim Thorpe. The picture of me is in front of the Asa Packer mansion which is in the last set of pics.

Mauch Chunk - Jim Thorpe, PA





































Took a trip to Jim Thorpe, PA to see a concert at the opera house. It was freezing cold so I didn't get a lot of great shots, but I figured I'd share.

Snow
















Snow is much nicer than ice. Although all the ice is still underneath.

icy weather











Dangerous to drive or walk in, pretty to look at.
