February 11th, 2011 On my last day as a teenager, a friend of mine and I took pictures in Brooklyn! We went by the Prommenade, the Brooklyn Bridge and the rocky beach area in DUMBO. (Pardon me for the lateness, I’m going to be writing more often.) All I can say when I see these…
This is kind of late, but I was waiting to see if there would be another snow storm before I was going to post this. But, there hasn’t been a serious one for a while now. I love snow and I love everything about snowstorms. So, I was very excited to hear about this major…
