"The great thing about the arts is that you can only learn how to do it…by doing it…if a child learns that you can only learn things by doing them, that might be the most important thing you can give them.

History is about life, about change, the mystery of human nature, & it isn’t just about politics & the military & social issues, which is almost always the way it’s taught, it’s about music & poetry & drama & science & medicine & money & love…"

On my way to lunch the other day

this is what I saw.

So damn cute.

These girlies were having so much fun posing for photos here.

Totally made my day.

I had 2 items & the line snaked to the left & was taking FOREVER.

I had to do something with my time on line...

So, out the camera came.

This store has everything from flimsy bikinis to overpowering cologne.

The line still wasn't moving & I didn't even feel a little bit like I was at the beach.

...or in California for that matter.

But I did appreciate the amazing chandeliers & the palm fronds.

This was the image on the shopping bag of the woman in front of me.

The idea today was to walk down one street randomly

& see what would strike my fancy photography wise.

Langdon's florist got to me first.

I was swept away by all the greenery out front

& the fire escape's shadows overhead.


Something about that sign looked interesting to me.

I liked all the intersecting lines going off into the distance.

Cool reflections on the car.

Another pattern & I always love scrolly designs.

The magazine said:

For men arousal begins with the body & the mind follows...women need an emotional encounter (& the body follows?).

Do you think that's generally true?

Walking down West 81st Street last Saturday.

If I had a gazillion dollars I'd so live here.
