election day

election day, originally uploaded by Lizzie~Belle.

I went out into the slushy rain to vote this morning. I even walked to the polls. There were a few other folks there voting, and I overheard one of the volunteers say that they've had a good turnout.

I sincerely hope that Martha Coakley wins today, despite the fact that she's not the candidate I would like to have seen win the primary. The alternative is so much worse. I really hate having to vote for the lesser of two evils, but a lot of the time, that's what it comes down to. Our system is imperfect at best, but it's what we have, and we must participate for it to work at all.


Believe it or not, this is a color photo.



Oh, and guess what? I actually slept in until almost 9:00 this morning! That's probably only because I fell asleep during Heroes last night, and then was awake until almost midnight. But still! Not the crack of dawn for a change!

I love the water drops on the tree limb. That's beautiful.

My precinct was busy this morning as well. Over 200 voters by 10:30am. And the other two that voted in the same polling place as mine showed similarly good numbers. This one is a nail-biter. Fingers crossed...

Thanks! I'm so glad it came out. The old camera probably wouldn't have been able to focus on the branches like that.

We can only hope.
