Thursday Challenge — "technology"

I'm all for technology—but this doesn't make for the nicest 
view (of daughter Kate's neighbor's terrace). 
Perhaps the folks who live here watch TV for a living!

abc wednesday - K is for "kitsch"


I took this picture in Red Hook, Brooklyn.  If I lived in this house with the
picture window right on the sidewalk, I'd probably preserve my privacy
with a curtain of lush plants.  These homeowners have opted to share their
Betty Boop collection—which is entertaining if a bit bizarre.

That's My World Tuesday

Patrick Dougherty created this nifty sculpture 
in the Brooklyn Botanic Garden with 6 tons of sticks. 
Here's what he has to say about it.

Mellow Yellow Monday


Not that much time left when we
can still find fresh flowers at the
greenmarket—so I'm going to
enjoy them while I can!

Shadow Shot Sunday


The twins—Toler and Banks—have just
discovered our fave thing: shadows!
If they turned around they'd see their
own, but meanwhile their moms'
(my friends Katharine—who took this
shot—and Katherine, aka
Ka-THAR-ine and Ka-THER-ine)
will do.

photo Hunt — "natural"


My favorite wildflower: lily of the valley—
maybe sometime you'll be in Paris on
May Day and someone special will give
you a "brin de muguet" (i.e., a sprig of
this delicate spring blossom).

Skywatch Friday


A party on the beach on Shelter Island
(where yesterday's post was from too)—
friends and family, good music, and a
beautiful sunset to boot! Life is good.
