Looking Up and Around

After coffee in the car, we headed downtown and walked around, just a bit, for there was a wee nip in the air.

We have a new bridge. It was under construction in all of 2022. The closure was not a boon to downtown merchants, which was too bad after two years of the pandemic. Nevertheless, it had to be done. Come better weather, I will likely take more pictures of and around the bridge, but this will have to do for now. This photo looks downstream toward the trail bridge that you have seen in other photos. The water was very blue that day, so I wanted to get at least one photo. They built a little extension or platform on both sides of the bridge, for people to loiter, get a closer look, and maybe take a picture.

From about the same spot, I turned the camera right toward townhall. How many photos have I taken of this building? How many more will I take?

I continued my looking-up theme and took two photos of 1888 Taylor. I don't know who Taylor was.

Before we retreated to our friendly vehicle, Sue had me pose with some leftovers from Christmas outside the Chamber of Commerce house, which was once a very early residence of a leading family. She is doing a scarlet theme this week, and so . . .

Almost back to our Honda, on the edge of the parking lot, I decided to take just one more photo — of a Mustang parked in a little alcove under the stairs of a two-storey building.

There were no great photos to be had that day, but sometimes it is enough just to point and click: especially now as a long winter begins to show signs of drawing to a close — at least on some days.
