Shadow Shot Sunday

I had a "summer Friday" this past Tuesday,
and was waiting when they unlocked 
the gate to the garden.  What a rare treat to
have the place almost entirely to myself!

The Weekend in Black and White

I guess if you saved your corks
for years and years and years . . .
(though in the case of this restaurant,
 it probably only took a few months).

Weekend Reflections

Everything about the Petit Palais,
in Paris, is beautiful—from the ceilings . . .

right down to the floors.

Thursday Challenge—"fun"

Water + small child + large frisky dog + frisbee = fun?

To be honest, the small child wasn't 100%
comfortable with the large frisky dog.  However,
the large frisky dog was having a blast!

ABC Wednesday—T is for "tools of the trade"

. . . and also for "talented."  These tools belong
to my favorite young Hungarian artist,
Maté Orr, whom I've featured before.

This is what he was working on when
we visited his studio last September.

A room with a view

It's the Appel Room, one of the spaces at
Jazz at Lincoln Center—where the view isn't even
the point, just a bonus to enjoy while you
listen to some wonderful live music.

Monday Mellow Yellows

I saw these guys entertaining the crowd
in front of the Plaza Hotel (or
condo or co-op or whatever it is now).
Hope all of you here in the States are having
a sunny Memorial Day weekend.
