1910. i don’t speak robot

 

i needed some help

but no help was to be found

i don’t speak robot! 🦊❤️

I was at the local big box hardware store to buy some framing materials. I went from aisle to aisle looking for assistance. The only “employee” that I could find was “Tally” the robot who was busy doing inventory in the plumbing aisle. He politely stopped and beeped when I approached him with my question. But I don’t speak “robot”. 🦊❤️

1909. after the parade

 

after the parade

the bands and fire trucks have gone

but not the candy 🦊❤️

Yulan and I took walk through Cape May streets the morning after the big Christmas Parade. All of the crowds, the noise, bands, floats and fire trucks were gone. All that remained were a few stranded pieces of candy not scooped up after the children and of course… silence. 🦊❤️

1908. hazy white sky

 

the haze whitened sky

made the solitary gull

the star of the show 🦊❤️

We sat in our hotel room watching the sea’s horizon disappear as the sky became a white out as haze and fog rolled in. It made sea gull watching all the more interesting and mysterious. 🦊❤️

1907. white sycamore

 

never have i seen

a sycamore so so white

disappears in the snow 🦊❤️

  

As we sauntered around Cape May at dusk, I was struck by the whiteness of a Sycamore tree that stands near “Our Lady of the Sea” Catholic Church.  It is as white as the soul of a newly Baptized baby. 🦊❤️

1906. white unicorn

 

way up a white wall

a window to a white room

and white unicorn 🦊❤️

We are at Cape May for the weekend to see the annual Christmas Parade. There are tons of people here - a real zoo of sorts. We even saw a unicorn at the zoo.  🦊❤️

1905. “baby it’s cold outside”

on this frigid night

warm christmas lights looking out

at their cold cousins 🦊❤️

When the nights are cold, there is no place like a warm home. Gratitude… 🦊❤️

1904. triggering imagination

right there in plain sight

a mysterious portal

to jules verne’s classic 🦊❤️

 I got out of my car and was immediately taken in by a ring of ice that had formed above a depression in the blacktop of a parking lot in need of repair. My mind flashed back to the original “Journey To The Center of the Earth” from the 1950’s. I stood there looking into the “blackness”  at the center of the ice ring and I imagined all of the wonders at the earth’s core as portrayed in the movie.  I even saw Pat Boone… 🦊❤️
