Sharing a few more eye-catching moments here in NYC this week!
Now here’s the difference between the Upper East Side and the Upper West Side.
In my hood – Upper West – we have real rats. In the Upper East? fake.

a little monet in central park
Disappointed this capture wasn’t sharp…but still had to share….I learn so much on the streets.
Not understanding why I was seeing all of these people holding this plant bouquet with a lemon…
I asked if he’d mind sharing, so he told me all about the Jewish holiday Sukkot.
The palm, willow, myrtle branches combined with citron represented the four types of Jews.
Unity is what it’s all about during this holiday…
bringing them all together representing unity as a nation—despite their external differences.
He was so sweet…

And sharing another still life from my class…a little avocado fun!
Thanks for your visits and comments…always!
Enjoy your weekend!!
(I’m attending a National Geographic Traveler seminar on Sunday! So excited!!)
Your images continue to be a great inspiration to me, Robin, so I keep coming back to you over and over again. Thanks for what and how you share YOUR city.
Another fun-filled photo week Frissy. Thanks so much for sharing the eye candy with us. I love the little monet in Central Park, the colorful balloons in the tree( wonder what kept them from popping), and the gourds on the doorknobs the best! XoXo MORE!!!
Wow, such great shots!!!
Love the B&W and how the people in the ad on the bus look like they are staring at the guy walking.
Got such a kick out of the upper east side “rats”, made me smile.
First thought of that lovely Central Park photo was Monet in my head, then I read your note! It’s beautiful!
The balloons and still life – gorgeous and of course you taught me something new about Sukkot, as I never really knew what each holiday represented. Never saw anyone walking around with the symbols and now I have to look further into the 4 types of Jews and how each symbol he is carrying corresponds to the meaning.
I do know though, that a female cannot shake hands with an orthodox jewish man as they are not allowed to touch other women unless it is their wife or relative.
Thanks for sharing another wonderful week in the city and have FUN and good luck in your class on Sunday. You are so Nat Geo! I’ll be thinking of you!
Love you.

Loveiy – and I love your new still lifes! They inspire me to make more, too. It’s a fall/ winter thing for me, during summer I’d rather be outdoors.
The simplicity of your last photo is compelling and quite powerful. Less is more.
