Twisted
2008-02-25 05:41:00 Twisted, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl. Lastly, from our walk in Cathedral Park yesterday with Weston, a picture of a really nice piece of driftwood.

Carts
2008-02-25 05:17:00 Carts, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl. These were pushed over the bank and lying next to the river. There were actually a few of them. Not sure why, or even how they got there, but they make for interesting discarded urban art, if you choose to look at it that way. ... More About: Photos

The Delaware
2008-02-19 06:21:00 The Delaware , originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl. We walked down to the Delaware River.

Photo Hunt - Free
2008-02-17 02:37:00 Liberty, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl. Today’s photo hunt theme is free and what signifies free more than letting freedom ring. Today we hung out in Philadelphia and went to see the Liberty Bell. Pretty fantastic. I always sort of find myself getting emotional about history. Corny… maybe, but I do none the less. It’s amazing to ... More About: Photo , Photos , Free , Hunt
Sanson Street - Philadelphia
2008-02-16 02:32:00 Sanson Street in Philadelphia , originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl. We ventured out to walk the streets of downtown Philadelphia this evening. There were so many people out. I guess it is Friday, and this is a living downtown, so that shouldn’t have surprised me. It’s one of those downtowns that doesn’t roll up ... More About: Photos
The Foot

Leftovers
2008-02-13 04:11:00 Leftovers, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl. I already used this same photo at image - ination, my 365 blog, but I liked it so much (plus I haven’t really gone anywhere today) I thought I’d use it here too. If you look closely you can see something written on the pizza box… those are lyrics to a song I heard on the radio at the restaurant. I wanted to remember them to look up later, which I did thanks to writing them down. The inventory… pizza, as mentioned above, milk and chai mix, chinese food, and tomato soup. I ate the leftover Thai food that had been in there for lunch today. Tasty. Tomorrow we pack it up in Atlanta and head to Philadelphia. It’s been beautiful here… blue skies, warmer temperatures. What we’ve seen of Georgia we like. It’s quite pretty and the people have been awesome… very warm and wonderfully friendly. I know we’ll probably be back, after all Karen’s working with the nice peo... More About: Leftovers
