Two Reasons I Love Westerly

The election process is finally over and we have a new president elect, Obama. I am glad both in the outcome and that the process itself is over...at least for 4 years. I have to admit that, unlike many friends and colleagues, I did not follow the election day hub-bub at all. I was in NYC for work most of the day, listened to an audio book on the drive home ("A World Without Us") then read another book when I got home (after debating with my dad for a while...). I slept soundly, wrapped warmly in the hope that hope would prevail. In the end, it did. I wish Obama the best of luck taking on the job of President of the United States (with emphasis on the "United").


Though I've been quite busy lately, I did have a moment to snap two quick pictures depicting why I love Westerly:
Wilcox Park, at any time of the day, is beautiful and relaxing. I played around with a few camera settings to snap this picture of the fountain at night. I must say, I am very pleased with the outcome!

What other city boasts a human-sized Mr. Potato Head dressed as a Vote-promoting super hero? I'm going to say, just Westerly! (if you happen to find another, please don't tell me.) Like I need another reason to love living here...
