in Arcachon

I like to think I'll get back here again,
to this charming town at one end 
of Cap Ferret, on the Bassin d'Arcachon,
west of Bordeaux.

teeny tiny

Can't tell you what kind of flower this is—
aside from saying it's very small.
I took this shot with a macro
lens on my phone.

inSPIREd Sunday

This is Santa Maria Sopra Minerva, in Rome.
There's some fabulous art in this often
overlooked church—including frescoes by
Filippino Lippi and sculpture by Michelangelo.

The Weekend in Black and White

We haven't gotten much of this so far,
and I can't say I'm sorry.
(We'll probably have a blizzard next week,
just because I said that.)

Rainy night at LGA

Earlier this month, I flew home from Virginia
through some very stormy skies (the
flight attendant told me we'd come this close to
being diverted to Philadelphia).
Needless to say, I was very glad to be back
home in NYC—and safe on the ground!

One more . . .

from this past weekend's Women's March
in New York.  I was so glad to be there
with my daughter Lila and a whole bunch of her 
friends.  I felt supportive and supported!

ABC Wednesday—C is for "corner"

And also Carlton (Hotel, at the corner of Madison Ave.
and 29th Street).  I lived in this beautiful old
building for a month back in the '70s during a protracted
transit strike.  At the time it was a real fleabag and
a few of my fellow guests worked, um, by the hour, let's say.
But it was definitely affordable.
It's much nicer now, and a room the size of the one I
had costs more than I paid for the whole month.
