Resting Sparrow (31/365)

Resting Sparrow


This little sparrow was just waiting his turn to get inside his home.  A pair of starlings had decided it was cold and took over.  This sparrow was not very happy about the takeover.  After a couple of dive bombs and lots of screeching,  the sparrow took a break and rested here.

Icicles (30/365)

Icicles


While walking around downtown Providence this morning I noticed a rather large sheet of icicles hanging from an awning.  I was able to step behind them and shoot up toward the gray sky.  While tis photo looks to be B&W it is actually not.  I just cropped most of the building out of it.  I thought it looked rather interesting.  My other photos today were more buildings.  Needed to try something different.  

Here's the original without the crop.

Downtown (29/365)

Downtown Providence



I got dropped off for work this morning a bit early so I took a walk around some of the downtown area I haven't gotten to in some time.  This is the view of Kennedy Plaza looking at what we call "The Superman Building".  If you've followed my 365 journey, you've seen the top of this building in a few other pictures, Believe it or not, the building is completely empty.

Morning After (28/365)

Korean War Memorial


Well, we survived Juno, the Blizzard of 2015.  Here's a shot of some of the snow around the Korean War Memorial.  Images I've seen from the Korean War often show the bitter cold of the battlefield.  I think the kneeling soldier statue is enhanced when surrounded and covered with snow.  

Here are some other photos taken of downtown Providence after the storm.

Splashing Angel (27/365)

Splashing Angel


My daughter and I got a chance to enjoy the ample snow we had (24" or so).  She was so excited to try and do her snow angels.  I  got a few,  but really liked this one as I caught the snow splashing around her.

Back To the Future (26/365)

Back To the Future


As I walked into the office today,  this is was the scene outside my building.  I thought it was neat how the tracks just took off to this car at the end of the plaza.  

Due to the major storm we were to have I left my DLSR at home, but the iPhone always comes in  handy for getting a pic for the day.

Snowball (25/365)

Snowball


Yesterday's snow was still around this morning so we got outside to play.  Not enough for a good snowman, but there was plenty for some good snowballs hurled Dad's way.  I called a timeout to get a shot of one.  

I hope you're not getting tired of the snow shots.  If the forecast is correct we're going to have plenty for quite some time. Looking forward to the 2+ feet being called for starting tomorrow afternoon.
