I have enjoyed this last season's postings. I have never been to NYC in the summertime. Hopefully a pleasure for the future.

Seen in the City, September 2nd
A very little bird on 22nd Street. It did not look happy. A model has bronzer ( or something) applied to her legs for a photo shoot. I think she is modeling running shoes. Corner of 23rd Street and 11th Avenue. In the afternoon, I see all the little cafe tables outside Macy's. Now i...
The cycle of the year, like the life of a person, how precious the continuing and sometimes unexpected warmth as autumn approaches. What clarity when the heat haze dissipates! And where better to experience this than close to the ocean?
Your picture of the turtle made me think of the Galapagos scene in "Suddenly Last Summer".

What a Day at the Beach
The first day of September when beach days are numbered. Each one of them precious. The clouds are astounding and the air clean and fresh. So much to look for on the beach. We scan the shingle for small treasures. Then something I haven't seen in thirty years of coming to thi...
I love the nostalgia of American diners with chrome, stools, checkered floors, large slices of pie in glass carousels . . . dreams of city adventure for a boy from a village in England. A memory of the feeling still returns whenever I visit one of these fine establishments. Deep-fried slices of Camelot.

Diner and Bagels
A dreary, overcast morning as we pass the American Dream Diner all neon and metal. This is the ceiling by the front door. This is the window sill. We didn't go in, but went to get bagels instead. My last morning before returning to the city. A dab of nostalgia already.
You express so well the nature of blogging. I had always been a private person and reluctant to put myself "out there". After all, how often do I really have something "important" to say? But I have come to accept and love the beauty of the small connections that we make and the sharing of thoughts, words and images from our everyday lives. Even the silly ones. . . a morning can be made brighter by a wet puppy.

Blogging
Blogging can be anything you want it to be: informative, confessional, cheerful, lugubrious, brief, interminable and so on. People can read your blog or not, as they will. John Andre Hill, Tappan Yet, somehow, kindred spirits find one another through pictures and writing. We know a part, s...
Nothing exceeds like excess.

ShopRite
ShopRite is as big as an airplane hangar. This little old lady is about as out of place as I am. I long to talk to her. I could ask her if she is as astounded by this abundance of stuff. I don't, because she is busy...... As is the young man restocking the shelves. Even after thirty...
