June 21, 2008

Saturday was a really nice day. Bright and sunny and not humid. Ah! It was really nice. I was by La Guardia Place to run an errand and came upon what I assumed was an art installation. It looked like a hollowed out golf ball. It looked nice a bright and white with shaded trees in the foreground. And I took pictures of flowers. I then headed over to Jersey City where I noticed that the board walk and pier that they have been constructing is almost complete. It's is going to be a really nice open public space!



This is my favorite picture:

Walked by the garden along La Guardia Place. The bees and other bugs were out and about. Took some pictures of them in action. I found a couple of bees wresting each other in a petal of rose. It was pretty intense. I couldn't capture it on video because I wasn't close enough so I took pictures instead. I also took some pictures from the hip of people. I got a few good ones.



I also took a couple of videos of a bee on a flower and a fly on a flower. The video quality isn't great but it should be fine.

I've been shooting my pictures with my Sony CD-Mavica MVC- CD400; my first digital camera. I can tell that the quality isn't as good as the Panasonic DMC-TZ3 that I've been using but had to return to my boyfriend...I've been borrowing it for almost a year! In fact, the pictures posted June 8, 2008 was shot with the Sony, too.

Today was another hot day in the city though not as humid as this past weekend. I took a medley of pictures. We have a few flowers today and people pictures. Most were shot from the hip. My Sony has the over the neck strap so my camera was hanging down on my left hip. I thought those were some interesting shots. You'll have to excuse the yellowness of those pictures. The Sony was set for sunny outdoor picture taking. I didn't adjust it when I was underground...oops.

And then on the way home, I was casually holding my camera and trying to take pictures of people as they walked towards me but instead, I took pictures of buildings - odd!

Well, I hope you enjoy them.

Today was a chock full of picture taking. Today's collection was not centered around one theme. I took a picture of a Pilsbury doughboy in a convertible. I thought it was a giant doll until he waved at me. The collection also includes flowers, a penthouse, and a set for a production called "The Rebound". It's a movie featuring Catherine Zeta-Jones.

Memorial Day is the mark of the beginning of summer! I was in the city to meet a friend for brunch and then head over to a nail salon for a manicure for me and a pedicure for her. Afterwards, I walked up to Union Square for a little light shopping. The Market was open and people wandering about looking at the fresh produce. Strawberries were being sold at various stalls. They looked really tasty! Check out the slide show for some juicy strawberries and other sites of the Union Square Green Market.


Aren't those dachshund puppies so cute!?

I was busy taking pictures on Saturday. It was a very nice day with sun and a bit of warmth even though I was in a sweater. It rained the night before and even though it was sunny on Saturday, I knew it was not going to be a warm.
My walk started near Union Square. I turned down one of the tween streets and noticed one of the apartments had some colorful window treatments. And their fire escape had some lawn furniture set up for relaxation. I was within the NYU Village campus. I just adore the building along Washington Mews. It looks so European. I feel like I am in France somewhere. I wasn't too far from Union Square when I heard some jazz music playing nearby. I found a set of jazz musicians playing their instruments for a seated crowded. They were pretty good. I didn't stick around to watch them play. I continued down LaGuardia Place where I often pass by the community garden. The people who have access to the garden plant such colorful flowers. It's so lush in there. I love taking pictures of flowers...
I then made my way across the Hudson River to Jersey City. I was at Exchange Place waiting for Thomas. They were erecting a new residential building not too far from the Exchange Place Light Rail station. It's one of the more interesting looking residential towers rising around Jersey City. While I was waiting, I took a few more picture of flowers and captured this adorable little bird I've not seen in an urban setting. I followed it around before I was able to take a few pictures. As you can see, I had quite a busy day of site seeing...

Sunday was an adventure into Brooklyn where we went to the Botanical Garden to check out the cherry blossom festival. It was a warm and sunny day and lots of people enjoying the festivities. Check out the pictures.


I also took a brief video of a girl playing traditional Japanese instrument that is similar to a guitar or harp.

Even though the day started off kind of crappy; rainy and cold; the late afternoon turned out nice. The rain stopped and the sun popped out briefly before clocking out for the day. I was sitting in front of a French restaurant on Sullivan Street called Jean-Claude. They have this flower box with pretty flowers planted in them.

Today was another gorgeous day in Soho! The flowers are in bloom, full of color and happiness. And people wore their shades and summer clothes even though it is Spring. It was so nice to be in a dress and walking around without a jacket. I am looking forward to more warmer and sunny days!

April 17, 2008

AH! It was a wonderful warm day. It is starting to feel like Spring. The flowers are blooming from trees and the birds are chirping. Take a look at these pictures.

Today is President's Day and I'm home. I took some pictures of some of the house plants around the house.
