Unknown said...: Anent Mark, I like the second. The couple is Meadhouse, peut-etre?

PS I am a rock. I am an island.

That you take walks together is a good thing.

No man is an island.

No woman is, either.

Keep each other warm.

It's a cold world - and getting colder.; 12/5/10, 4:40 AM

For a very different sort of elegiac infusion, see Drudge's page today for a very melancholy Obambi and Hill. I have uploaded a screen shot here:

But we were glad for him to be booking his tickets instead to LA and the Rose Bowl. However, I had to warn him that beating Wisconsin would be harder than he thinks.; 12/5/10, 7:49 AM

Clyde said...: The headline picture at Drudge right now shows a shadowed Obama with his left hand up, although whether he is waving or shielding his eyes from the light is open to interpretation. For me, it brought to mind the Cracker song ""I See The Light":

"I see the light at the end of the tunnel now,
"Someone please tell me it's not a train..."

Yeah...

wv: frose. Really.; 12/5/10, 7:55 AM

Misty said...: Beautiful photos and looks like a great walk.

It's so good to see pictures of places that actually have seasons. Here in Phoenix the high is in the 70's. Of course all us wimps have our heaters on already and wear jackets.

So hard to get into the Christmas spirit when it feels like Spring. Having grown up in So Cal I never did figure out why Christmas and snow seemed to go together; not exactly the weather on that first Holy Night.

Thanks for sharing.
