Photo Hunt—"awesome"

I feel strongly that "awesome" is a
very overused word. That said . . .
Three friends and I recently shared this
molten chocolate cake and scoop of salted caramel
ice cream—and we all agreed that they were awesome!

Morning Has Broken

I'm getting on a plane early this morning
and heading south.  I have a window seat
on the port side and I'm hoping for a
clean window and a good sunrise.

Thursday Challenge — "hands"

There's an art to sharing a subway pole on a 
crowded train, and New Yorkers have it down:
close but not touching—and don't make eye contact.
(Also, don't whip out your camera and start
snapping your fellow commuters. Just turn off 
the sound on your cell phone and try to be discreet.)

abc wednesday —L is for "lace"

I was fascinated by this piece
of lace that was started long ago but
never finished.  I snuck this shot in
the Correr Museum, which is dedicated
to the life and culture of Venice.

photo op of a photo op

Found these guys up on the Brooklyn Bridge
recently.  It looked kind of like they were filming
part of a music video—but one that involved no
handlers, no entourage, no groupies . . . no ego?

tea party*

(*Well, maybe not quite a party) 
Since I gave up alcohol for Lent . . .
I've had many, many cups of tea.  So why
not use a pretty cup?   (I've had this one
since I was a kid (i.e., for a looong time)!

Shadow Shot Sunday

These plates at the Met date back to the
late Byzantine Era.  Think about it—they've
survived intact for almost 1,000 years!
