The Russian Tea Room on W. 57th Street (next door to Carnegie Hall!) in New York City. Looks better larger. The recurring red theme caught my eye -- in the awning, the woman's coat, the open entry door, the street signs, and the trim on the trees.

Brooklyn Diner on West 57th Street in New York City. Please view at X3.

Gail, you mentioned you thought I lived in Virginia. You're right, I do -- but New York is a favorite vacation destination. We spent 5 nights there just prior to Christmas, so that's why you're seeing so many shots from there.

Guess what? No cortisone shot was necessary today! My hand was improved enough from the last visit that we're going to try two rounds of prednisone for the next 12 days to see if that cures the remaining pain and trigger finger. If so, great, but if not, then I'll definitely need a shot in about 6 weeks.

Hoping to get back to regular commenting soon. The hours just fly by these days!

A view of our backyard last March following a heavy snowstorm. Stylized today in a painting style. I love how the trees appear to be sprinkled with confetti.

Please view large -- the textures in this one are very interesting!

Later today I'm having a cortisone injection in my hand to help alleviate the pain of trigger finger/thumb, which I've suffered with for well over a year. The shot is way more painful than the daily discomfort but my thumb is actually locked into position now and steadily getting worse, so it's time to stop avoiding the situation.

Will have to type with one hand for at least a day. Oh joy!

Grand Hotel Gardens, Mackinac Island, Michigan. Photo taken July 2009, but stylized today.

Please view large if you can -- X3 is especially textural.

So today when I uploaded these for test printing at our local Target, the photo lab clerk and her supervisor both called me to say they didn't believe these were my photographs! They honestly thought I'd taken pictures of paintings and prints, and was trying to pass them off as my own -- a major copyright violation. When I provided them with copies of the original straight-out-of-the-camera prints, they finally believed me.

I took it as the ultimate compliment! :-)

It's been two years since I took this picture, but stylized today, in keeping with my New York theme.

Thank you for your comments during the past few days. I'm attempting to develop a signature style, so you're likely to see a lot more of these artistic renderings over the coming months. :-)

A different view of the New Year's Eve Ball in Times Square. We were walking east along 42nd Street late one afternoon toward the end of our New York trip, and I happened to turn around and look up. I'm so glad I did! Please view as large as you can for extra detail and textures, since this is done in a painting style.

Here's a link for you to learn everything you ever wanted to know about the New Year's Eve Ball:
