CFFC: Busy Hands

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week has the theme of HANDS. Looking through my photos, I found hands in various positions and engaging in various tasks – hands are seldom idle!

Thursday Halloween Doors

Halloween just passed, and I had fun walking around the neighborhood looking at and photographing people’s Halloween decorations.

Like spokes on a wheel, streets stretch outward from the square. We went down a couple of these, including State Street, which has the most interesting shops and restaurants, […]
