The prompt this week is to show solitude.
This statue of a lion sleeping in one of the gardens at the Frelinghuysen Arboretum in Morris Township, New Jersey made me feel a sense of solitude.

Weekly Challenge: Path…
The prompt this week is path. This is a picture of my daughter and her dog walking on one of their favorite paths in the woods. I like how they are silhouetted here.
Challenge: It’s Not This Time Of Year Without…
The prompt is to share something that signals the beginning of the holiday season. Here is my entry.
My dad was a police officer in Newark, NJ. For many of his years on the force he worked in the Emergency Squad division. During the long hours between calls the guys would keep themselves busy in various ways like cooking. Near the Christmas holidays they always came up with a special project, like candle making for instance. In 1956 they made Santas. I still have ours. Santa stands about 3 and 1/2 feet tall and is made from press board. After the outline was drawn the guys cut out the Santas and my dad set to work drawing the features, clothing and bag of toys. At that point our Santa came home and my mother and I painted him. You can read more of my family Santa story by CLICKING HERE
