State Reflection

Don't be fooled. It might look flaky, but this recent driving snow was not soft to the cheeks or eyes. The colors, of this doorway, caught my attention as I made my way to Congress Square. Across the street, you can see a brief reflection of the State Theater, enjoying another rebirth as a fine music venue. A cup of Coke, some angry snow, varied colors, and the State... it's got it all!

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!
"Read Across America" Day!

    So glad that you braved the punishing snowstorm to capture this shot... The great colors and composition, reflection, lines... yes, this one is very fine. I do keep going back to look at your last two posts for the same reasons... I think you are on a roll!

    Bises,
    Genie

    Me, too, I like that this photo captures so much so pleasingly: the colors, the balance of lines, the reflection, the snowy snow.

    Nice composition, Birdman. You can't let yourself stay cooped up when the weather gods are angry. Gotta get out.

    You are a brave man to head out in that! Spring must be coming sometime soon.

    That is just a fabulous shot! My grandson and his class of first graders are celebrating today by bringing Dr. Seuss books to school along with a pillow so they can read all day.

    Oh, that's swell, really swell. And I can feel the ice picks on my cheek.

    Enough already of snow! Love the nod to Suess; when teaching, I always acknowledged his birthday with a little reading; the high schoolers loved it!
