December Ducks

OK, so the first two are not ducks. I photographed these on December 31, 2016 at the Pond at the south end of Central Park. I added some effects in Photoshop and OnOne.

The Mallards are in mating mode. They splashed around and chased each other making a ruckus.

Green-winged Teal

A Green-winged Teal is the last bird I saw in 2016 at the Pond at Central Park. Best wishes for a happy and productive year.

 

Hudson Snow

It took a bit of effort to go the three block is the snow early Saturday morning. I had to get a few photographs of New York City’s first snowfall of this winter.

Fourth Street Door

My favorite little door on West 4th Street in Greenwich Village is this one because it reminds me of “The Secret Garden” by Frances Hodgson Burnett:

Washington Square Hotel was the Hotel Earle in 1902. It is a small eight-story residential hotel in New York’s fashionable Greenwich Village:
