Exploring

I love to explore my city. I love to walk the sidewalks, no matter how cold it gets, and see what there is to see.

There is always so much to see.

I have zero photography skills. My camera (or should I say Tyler's camera because he likes to say that I stole it, but what's yours is mine, I reply) is nothing special. But I like to take pictures. It's lucky that I live in one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

Thought I'd share some of the interesting things I've seen lately. Just because.


Pumpkin heads on their stakes (Cobble Hill, Brooklyn)



A rare sight: Plenty of places to sit (The Highline, Manhattan)


A sharp shooting, yo-yo-ing, unicyclist (Columbia Waterfront District, Brooklyn)


And our very own golden prairie right here in the concrete jungle (The Highline, Manhattan)

    Great photos. I think that you have an artistic eye for photography, no matter what you say!

    The pumpkin heads on stakes look really creepy.

    You are the most fantastic photographer I know. *needs lessons* I cut heads off. When I reach for the camera the family grabs it out of my hands. Humph!

    Love the prairie. You know I do. :-)

    Brilliant1 Each evokes its own mood. Love them. Continue with the theme 'what's yours is mine'.

    Um, WHY do you say you're not good at photography? You have a real knack for the use of color in these photos! They are lovely!

    Those pumpkin heads remind me uncomfortably of Vlad the Impaler.

    You really do take great pictures! The pumpkins on stakes kind of freaked me out...made me thing about the Tower of London.
