Blue skies smilin' at me

nothin' but blue skies do i see...

if you've followed this blog at all, you know i often post about some pretty gloomy stuff... like many of you, i'm extremely concerned with what i see going on in the world, particularly in the u.s., and, unfortunately, much of that doesn't make a very pleasant picture...

that said, there's also a lot to smile about, even though, sometimes, it doesn't feel like it... nevertheless, it's true, and i'm going to make an effort to post more on things that make me smile... like this post, most of them will be photos, and, like these, will generally be of little things, which are, after all, often the most important things of all...

sunday night and monday was perhaps the closest i've come to honest-to-god wintry cold i've yet experienced in buenos aires... yeah, ok, the temp didn't quite reach freezing but the wind chill was about 27F and, for here, that's COLD... making matters worse, yesterday was a gray day, a day to stay inside and keep warm... last night got cold too, not quite like sunday night, but today, while still on the chilly side, has been blessed with the kind of intense sunshine and brilliant blue sky that i have never quite seen anywhere else... so, what could i do but take a long walk...?
