Here launches my eighth Pictures-A-Week. It also marks the eighth decade I’ve seen. I’m just into the sixth decade of me, but I slipped into the world on the tail end of the nineteen-forties and am now standing on the edge of the twenty-teens. Kitty says that makes me sound old.

I hope you will join me each week to share memories of the things I see (and capture) in 2011.

It’s still brutal cold, and the sun sets early, so there were few “expeditions “ this week. It was grab as grab can to catch images.

Welcome to the first week of 2011.
