This small stone (or possibly concrete) cherub sits at the base of a large tree in our garden. We have a larger one down on the dock.

Cherub
Terracotta head
I really wanted to get this roll off to be processed. I only had a couple of frames left so as is often the case I decided to finish it off by taking a few pictures in our garden.

Salt and Pepper Shakers
We were sitting outside “The Patio” in Briarcliff Manor waiting for our lunch arrive when I spotted these salt and pepper shakers on the glass topped table. So far I hadn’t tried anything close up with the ME Super so I decided to “give it a go”.

Yorktown Heights, NY – An old railway station
According to the Town of Yorktown website:
The Putnam Railroad began business as the New York and Boston Railroad on May 21, 1869. Its goal was to link Westchester and Putnam counties with railroad lines serving upstate New York and New England into Canada. In the 1880s the railroad station was the center of town, surrounded by five stores, a school, a hotel, two locksmiths, a wheelwright, and two churches. When the rail line closed, the Town of Yorktown eventually came into ownership of the station and the surrounding property, which became a town park.
In 1976/77, the Town repaired the station house exterior. In 1981 the station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and in 1994 the Historical Society undertook exterior renovations. Today the Railroad Station stands at the side of the North County Trailway and is again in need of repairs, but ultimately the Town would like to open it as a small snack shop.
