I haven’t even been here for 24 hours, and already my camera is bursting with colorful shots of the fall foliage. And according to the foliage report, this isn’t even peak season yet! Stay tuned for more.

Reflections at 9/11 Memorial 1 comment
Although surrounded by ear-numbing construction on all sides, the 9/11 Memorial in Manhattan is an oasis of peace and quiet. Even the fountains didn’t seem to make any noise.

Man’s Best Friend 11 comments
Well, at least THIS man’s best friend. Caught this man and his dog while walking through Brooklyn – both were completely content sitting on the doorstep of their house and pursing their favorite activity – reading and people watching.

Mr. Blue Sky Leave a comment
Today the sky was so blue I just had to post some pictures of it. And the fall blooms provided a nice contrast. It was the kind of gorgeous day that made me think of one of my favorite songs that always gets my feet tapping: ‘Mr. Blue Sky’ by ELO (“Sun is shining in the sky, there ain’t a cloud in sight…”).

The Spirit of Ecstasy 1 comment
On a walk through Brooklyn I found a parked Rolls Royce (yes, parked and unattended!) and had fun experimenting with some close-up photography of the hood ornament, called ‘Spirit of Ecstacy’ , designed in 1911. Here are a few of my favorite takes.

Bridges of Brooklyn 7 comments
On a recent walk through Brooklyn’s DUMBO district (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass), I found lots of interesting views of both the Brooklyn Bridge as well as the Williamsburg Bridge. The district is New York’s 90th historic district.

Jane’s Carousel 2 comments
This is Jane’s Carousel, an antique carousel (built in 1922) lovingly restored by Jane Walentas in her studio in Brooklyn. It now sits in a dedicated structure at the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge, is open year-round, and enjoyed by kids of all ages.
