"Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night..."
Photo of mailbox with snow around the place where mail is deposited. There's also a narrow ledge lined with snow just above the stylized eagle logo for the US Postal Service.

Hoagy Carmichael in the snow.
Part of a bronze statue of Hoagy Carmichael seated at a piano. We see his face in profile. Snow covers much of his hat and his left forearm, which rests on the piano. In the background, snowy shrubbery, glimpses of buildings and bare trees, and a streetlight.

A few remnants of Saturday night's snow. Photo taken as Monday night's snow was just starting to fall.
A small pile of snow on one side of a street, with smaller clumps of snow in the background. The snow has been sculpted into various odd shapes.

Two ginkgo trees stand on either side of a sidewalk in front of several buildings and a clock tower, with the lights of downtown in the far background at lower left. The sky is a deep twilight blue.

The oak trees have shed their leaves and gone to sleep.

It's the 25th anniversary of my mother's death. I have many great photos of her with my father or with me and/or my siblings, but I also love this photo of her as a young woman. I miss her.
Photograph of a young woman in a sleeveless print dress, sitting in a chair in front of a wooden partition. She's looking off to the side with a thoughtful look on her face.

Shadow.
Outdoor area with red brick paving and light-colored stone or concrete walls. Sunlight is coming through a decorative grille set into the wall on the left, causing a patterned shadow to fall on the red bricks. Blue sky, trees, and the top of a flight of stairs in the background.
