water tower
well
i went
from
wanting to return
the new camera
to
loving it
sort of
almost
it could happen
to
carrying
a camera
again
is
odd
not
simply
using
my iphone
is
odd
its a nice camera
has lots of
bells and whistles
modes
i will probably
maybe
never
use
but
its cool to have them
its got wifi
which
currently
defies
me
getting it
to
connect
without a lot of fuss
weekend end
it was a long weekend
the weather was weird
temperatures climbed
broke records
made it hard
to get into the spirit
of the season
of the holiday
i left the office wednesday after lunch
did some errands on the way home
over the weekend
we watched several movies
we went to our friends annual christmas day dinner
i beautified
it was a long weekend
but a good one
we did not buy each other gifts
we stopped doing that a few years ago
my sister
who we usually see christmas day morning
was not feeling well
she had awful laryngitis
came by on sunday
she got toonman a ton of gift cards for netflix and iTunes
she got me a terrific lightweight olympus with interchangeable lenses
we got her
an iPad air and a catball for her cats
(sorry its such a small photo but thats what she sent)
then my friend missy stopped by
we commiserated about camera manuals
i usually do not read manuals
my feeling is
if i can't figure it out
if i cant intuit it
i shouldn't be using it
well
olympus is testing me and that theory
the battery is finally charged
only took an hour
i am going to go see what i can intuit
because
the manual which came with it
refers to pages not in the manual
there's a better one online
but
til i print it out at the office
i am going to wing it!
fur-ever homes
this is daisy mae
she's not a youngster
she was due to be put down
why?
because
she was old
no one wanted her
she now lives at my vet's practice
she's loved cared for doted on
by his entire staff
he too lives at the vet's office
another animal saved
wont you please
foster or adopt animals
being sentenced to death
just
because
no one wanted them?
thanks for all you've done
I am reposting this article for
Best Friends Animal Society
an organization
my sister and i support and want to help

wrapped in fog
it was
especially dark
wednesday morning
fog settled
gently wrapping the buildings
dimming their lights
i got nothing
another straight out of the iphone photo
not edited
took this one morning
mid october
on
my walk up to broadway
to the subway
i look up a lot
its usually worth it
as for this weekend
aside from totally
indulging
myself:
massage
facial
hair appointment
mani/pedi
we watched
a couple of movies:
the martian
(as good as the book)
the big short
a strange topic
(the collapse of the world economy due to some f'ing greedy banks)
for a comedy
but
quite good
i did nothing worth blogging about
you?
queenie and rebecca
queenie is a havanese
she is adorable
also
adorable
her friend rebecca
rebecca
she of the very chic leopard sweater
did not want her picture taken
i was cool with it
gee whiz
while
i have not ever dined
at
gee whiz
i pass it every morning
greenwich between chambers and warren
i love
that
they decorate
for
every holiday
i love the icicles
i love the dolls in the window
i love this place
i hope the food is good
three for sure, maybe more
lots of water towers
i believe i took it walking across houston street
(that street sign reads laguardia place)
wacky weekend weather
what a weekend!
seriously
it was more like late march
than
mid december
i left the office early
on
friday
we watched two movies this weekend
me & earl & the dying girl
so charming
so terrific
we also watched
antman
it was a hoot
i recommend them both
we're debating another movie
but
right now
as i am blogging
he's watching football
back to the recappage
i had errands to do
on
saturday
after my hair appointment
it was a good day
to
capture the hood
in
holiday mode
the sky was so weird very sic-fi
people were tree shopping this guy was drilling a hole for a tree stand
restaurants are keeping their sidewalk tables open
looking up
while waiting to cross columbus
i noticed
the j.m. horton ice cream company
signage
for the first time
now of course
i need to google to learn more
the corner of 79th at broadway
is
a busy place
a festive place
grocery shoppers
tree sellers and buyers
abound
i am thinking another movie would be fun
a good way to end the weekend
and you?
how was your weekend
a day like this
back in early october
i spent the day
with
my friends melissa and stella
we enjoyed
weather
much like
the weather this weekend
more like spring than the end of fall
it was nice enough
to walk through the park
head down to the river
perfect light for doggy portraits
say treats, stella
evening stroll
on my way uptown
in an uber
a story for another time
stopped in traffic
this vignette
caught
my eye
corner of west street
formerly the westside highway
at 41 street
morning run
its been
unseasonably
warm
in
the early
pre-dawn hours
the tree sellers
are
usually
the only people
i see
on my way
to
the subway
yesterday
that woman
running
got me
to
change the idea
the focus
i had
for a photo
i like this one better
not much
it was a fun weekend
not overly busy
not dull
not much happened
we went to the vet on saturday
annie had her first check up since we adopted her
she's in excellent health
thank you
in the evening
we watched a movie
bridge of spies
i liked it
i spent sunday beautifying
then
worked with a friend on a project she's doing
i took photos and helped create a presentation
sunday evening
was
the first night
of
hanukkah/chanukkah
all in all a nice two days
thanks in advance
