NYE 2010

One of my favorite places in the city has always been Longfellow Square pictured here at twilight. The statue of the poet, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, is sitting in his chair just off to the right in this view. I picked this scene to help me celebrate 2 years on the CDPB. I have not missed a day since December 31, 2008. When I started, with a post of the stone bridge in the Oaks during a snowfall, I wondered if I could do it every day. My goal back then was one year, and now look I'm at 2 years and counting. Thanks to all who have checked in and offered their thoughts. See ya tomorrow!

  3. I love this capture, Birdman. It's a wonderful slice of Americana with the park benches and storefronts and lighted trees -- very nice. Happy CDP anniversary! Here's to another year filled with eye catching photos.

  4. You've created a blog family in those two years, faithful and true. And how you've grown as a photographer from that first small shot in the snow. And how you've engaged us with your stories. Thank you, happy blog anniversary, happy new year, dear Birdman!

  7. I envy those that have the talent to be creative enough to keep bringing readers back day after day. Not sure when I started my blog, daughter got me to do it since I was retired, but I certainly don't have the followers you do.
    You take some really nice shots and keep it interesting. Congradulations

  16. Congratulations on two years. I started Tulsa Gentleman in May of 2008 and have only missed a handful of days with out a post but I don't have perfect attendance. You do a good job, good photos, a good variety, and a minimum of BS. Thank you.

  22. Good day! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering which
    blog platform are you using for this site? I'm getting sick and tired of Wordpress because I've
    had issues with hackers and I'm looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
