Light of Day

New York: Gramercy Park

Inspiration: Beautiful light is all I need to be happy these days.

Tulipa

New York: Gramercy Park

Inspiration: Tulips are one of my favorite flowers (topped only by Peonies and orchids).  I know that I should have rendered the photo in color (they are a pale yellow tinged with red) but black and white makes them so dramatic looking!

View from the Bridge, Pt. II

New York: Chinatown from Manhattan Bridge

Inspiration:  Remember when I said I was stuck on the bridge last week?  Here another photo from that mini-photo shoot.  On this side of the bridge lies Chinatown with a view of the Empire State building in the distance.

New York: Downtown Manhattan from the Manhattan Bridge

Inspiration: I was stuck in bumper to bumper traffic on the Manhattan bridge yesterday . . . so I pulled out my phone and snapped some pics so as not to go nuts while sitting there FOREVER.

Anew

New York: Washington Square Park

Inspiration: I love Spring.  It's like a getting a present . . . a box filled with things you haven't seen or tasted in months.  New grass, new flowers, trees with new leaves, people filling the parks and the streets, new fashions in store windows . . . love it.

Kissing Bicycles

New York: West Village

Inspiration: Today is the end of the most beautiful weekend all year.  The weather was incredible: not too cool, not too warm.  A perfect day to wonder around with my camera - something I haven't done in ages - and something that I've really missed doing.

Airborne, Pt. II

New York: From the Air

Inspiration:  As a follow-up to my last post, two more photos (horizontal) that I took of New York during take-off from LaGuardia a couple of days ago.

Airborne

New York: From the Air

Inspiration: I have been a busy busy bee lately . . . albeit a busy bee who's been grossly negligent about posting on my blog! When I neglect my blog, I feel like I am abandoning a good friend and I feel terrible! In any event, I've been working on a number of projects and flying around the place.  Here are a few photos from one of my flights to (or from) New York.

Here one Moment, Gone the Next

New York: Gramercy Park

Inspiration:  All week long, weather people told us about another Lionesque Noreaster that would slam New York.  Yet every morning I woke up to clean streets. I lugged my snow boots to work all week having been previously caught in a storm with only heels to get me home. Well . . . on Friday morning we finally saw snow.  But by Friday at lunch time, it was gone!

New York: Central Park

Inspiration: lines. lines. lines.
