New York in Bloom

At the eastern end of 51st Street, just off
Beekman Place, there's a set of stone stairs that
lead down to this walkway, which goes over a little 
park and the FDR Drive and out to the East River.
I like to come here on my lunch hour—especially
at this time of year, when the cherry trees
and the Eastern redbuds are in full fabulous bloom.

Skywatch Friday/Weekend Reflections

If you look north from my office, you'll
see another tall building, but also a
reflection of Manhattan sky—and skyline.

Beekman Place . . .

. . . where you'll find high-end real estate, embassies, surveillance
cameras, parking for diplomats only—and some lovely shadows.
