Springy

With all the cold weather lately, I thought a "Springy" little ceramic basket would be nice.

But I Like the Cookie

Life imitating art?  You can view the clip from the movie Over the Hedge to see what I'm referencing.

This little black squirrel was sure relishing his delicious delicious cookie!

I couldn't get a tack sharp image, but it was too cute not to share.

Seven Oaks Oval Park

A block from where I grew up is a huge sinkhole, formally Seven Oaks Oval Park, and informally "the oval" or "the hole."  I have fond memories of playing here as a child.

This picture doesn't do justice as to how deep it really is.  I might have to try harder to show its depth another day.

It was already platted on this 1903 map.  (Plate 47 shows the park.)  According to one article I read, it officially became a park in 1922, but I haven't been able to verify that.

Frosty Day on the Mississippi

The past few days have been below 0ºF.  Took this shot of the Ford bridge yesterday.
