L.A. Dog, December Blossoms, TWO Hawks and My Antonia

juncos

by Cathleen Schine on October 31, 2009

During a beautiful rainy walk in Riverside Park the other day, I saw a coupe of juncos–what I know as slate-colored juncos, because that’s what Roger Tory Peterson calls them.

Hector Reflector

by Cathleen Schine on April 2, 2008

Hector spent a week at the beach, much of it lolling in the surf, but this is not that. This is a site called wavemypic that allows you to upload pictures of, say, your dog and give it this effect. Thanks, ndozo, as always!
