The Seat Saver…







A secrurity guard at a local museum was showing this to some visitors. Too bad Jeremy retired – I could use one of these at Starbucks!

I haven’t posted in a few days.   It’s been kind of busy, but all is well.   Let’s see what’s in the camera – always a good way to find way out what Frances has been up and into.

Last week I finally got around to visiting The Museum of The City of New York.  I ended up becoming a member, and attending two of the evening lectures

The name Annapoorneshwari means “Feeding one and all”.  I shot this on a trip to temple Saturday night. 

Ganesh – Remover of Obstacles – also taken at temple.

The number 5.  One of my favorite rides. This bus goes from The Washington Bridge down to the South Ferry and back again. If you catch it going downtown you’ll go through The Upper West Side, Central Park South, down Fifth Avenue, through Midtown, The Flatiron, Chelsea, Greenwich Village and The Lower East Side.  It’s a tour of Manhattan for $2.25!

I posted about Echo earlier in the week.   She’s quite mysterious by the light of the night don’t you think?

Uh oh there goes the phone.  I’ll be back soon.

 - Tiffin with police inspector Hjara, Oros, Sindhudurg, Maharashtra, India -

After I was registered in the ‘Foreigners book’ The inspector asked me if I would like to have some lunch. I was already smiling when he offered to share the tiffin his wife prepared (the Indian compartment lunch box combo).

We went down to the government diner in the first floor, sat in a picknick table outdoors and he shared everything he had with me.

Getting up from the table he invited me to meet him two weeks later at the improvised police station of a 2 day festival I was intending to attend as well.

Sushi and I met while I was photostrolling through Riverside Park this afternoon. He was lunching on a bench with his owner and some friends. He’s 2 years old, from California, and doesn’t mind being admired & photographed.

nyc: acting like it’s spring until it really is…

So Sunday past I strolled down to the AMNH (American Museum of Natural History).   It’s been one of my favorite places to go since my grade school years.  This week I walked through the amazing Body and Spirit: Tibetan Medical Drawings, and a truly spectacular photo exhibition – Highway of an Empire: The Great Inca Road.

After I left the museum I headed for Central Park, even though it was cold, damp and overcast. I wasn’t the only one.

It is officially spring, but it sure hasn’t been spring-like. Regardless NYCers were out walking, biking, shotting photos even napping on the grass – in heavy jackets!

Hopefully next Sunday will be the warm and sunny. Whatever the weather I’ll be out there. :-)
Ciao for now
