Monday, December 28, 2009 – Year End Images

Walking Melrose Avenue in the last days of an odd year – and on the sidewalk at "Off the Wall" there's new Americana to cheer you up –

Ah, the majorette in the window is perky!

But whatever the New Year brings, in the alley out back, a reminder of the old year soon to be gone –

Ah, nearby, one-eyed zygotes of hope and renewal (with gloves) for the New Year, that shine in the sun (or the lens flare) –

An eye on the past with the future peeping through, or something like that –

Maybe the New Year is still in its embryonic stages –

And coming soon to a theater near you –

And you know someone will mess things up, as they always do –

It's all a mystery –
