Of course we had to visit a bookstore while in New York. Here's Rose in the Strand, mentioned in tour guides as an excellent place. There was plenty of it, that's for sure.

The Strand
Of course we had to visit a bookstore while in New York. Here's Rose in the Strand, mentioned in tour guides as an excellent place. There was plenty of it, that's for sure.

Trump Tower
Rose stands next to a mirrored wall in Trump Tower, New York. We happened upon the place as we were exploring the city so went in to look around a bit. It was gold everywhere. Light level was low and I had no tripod thus the slightly shaky look.
Window Shopping
New York City was wonderfully fashionable. I took a picture of this window because I loved these clothes so much -- most especially the mini-skirt/fitted blazer look. Manhattan Sept 2006.

Peach Rose: Study 2
Pics of a rose that Jim gave me, May 2007. I should have tried this shot at different times of the day.

Aunt Jane's Funeral
Richard shovels dirt on the coffin. All her boys and most of the cousins, including me, took a turn. It felt really strange, like getting punched in the stomach, but at the same time very healing. Boyds at the funeral were Ray Sr., Richard, Raymond Jr., Ramona with Rose and G.P., and Cathy.
This was a very un-interesting cemetery, boring even. There are no gravestones, only plaques set flat in the ground with vases poking up to hold the flowers -- very sterile-looking, nothing for the undead to hide behind. Asheville, North Carolina, March 2008.

At the Park
A gorgeous Saturday morning in winter -- we took advantage of the warm weather to go to the park. Here, Ellen and Lucy show off at the playground. Photo Friday: The Weekend
Let Me Out!
Several butterflys were flapping at the window. The beautiful garden created for them at the Butterfly Pavilion wasn't good enough.

Misc. Flower
A flower at the Butterfly Pavilion, Westminster, CO. This is a fairly standard pic as flower pics go, boring even, but I think it's a good candidate for Photoshop painterly effects.

Brick/Windows
Buildings in Manhattan. Concept: to showcase varying colors, repetition of line and like texture. Execution: failed to get it in focus; PhotoShop tweaking didn't overcome primary problem.

Out the Hostel Window
A bit of sky can be seen from the window of our hostel -- the Continental, 330 W. 95th St. Not much to it, but that's the nature of hostel's -- just a tiny room with a bunk bed and a chest of drawers with a community bathroom down the hall. On the plus side: our floor was very quiet, the stay was affordable and we were just blocks from Central Park!
