Times Square – New York City
This week’s prompt: ……Sometimes, we get caught up in nostalgia, future fantasy, or both, and we don’t embrace the “now.” For this week’s challenge, take a moment to notice your present, and share a photo of it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My choice for “now” is Christmas morning which is today.

The prompt for gathering is: Share with us your interpretation of “gathering.” It could be your entire family decked out in ugly holiday sweaters. It could be a group of seagulls strutting down the beach. Perhaps it’s a basket of fresh herbs you’ve collected from your garden for that awesome pasta dish this evening.

My choice for the prompt, gathering is this gaggle of geese gathered in a field, a rest stop on their way south. This was taken a couple of Decembers ago when New Jersey was having winter in December and snow on the ground, not spring in December like this year when things are starting to bloom 🙂
Weekly challenge prompt: This week, share a photographic “Oops!” moment with us. The fiasco could be what’s in the picture: anything broken, jumbled, or otherwise cringe-worthy (ugly sweaters are encouraged!). Or it could be something in the photo-taking itself, from the tip of your finger ruining a meticulously framed panorama to an inopportune shadow messing up a family portrait.
Go funny, or serious, or go with a mixture of both —

This photo is my oops moment…
Before I had a digital camera I was taking pictures of the Gay Head cliffs at Aquinnah, on Martha’s Vineyard. It was mid-February and the beach was covered with rocks and stones. For some reason the camera accidentally opened for a split second. I hurried to the camera shop to see if I had lost all my pictures and when they were developed this was the picture I had taken just before the camera opened. My oops picture turned into an ‘oooh picture’.. I love it
The picture below was taken near the same spot a day later…
