Upstate, Duchess County, New York

A frog pond, the first thing my path crossed this morning, after the little skunk ran in front of me and into the woods.

Flowering bushes throughout this part of the woods create a sweet scent along the path.

Just a few pictures of a gorgeous place - common enough here but new and wonderful after spending months in Brooklyn (which is a city I love, but still...)

People get bored in the country and have to drink lotsa beer and smash the bottles against rocks. It seems to be a part of the culture here.

Looking towards the Catskill Mountains from across the playing field.

And further down the path, wildflowers are in bloom.

Then one of several streams that run under the pathway.

Another wildflower - anyone know what this is?

The path itself.

A patch of fern.

Now, heading back, once again passing the wildflowers.

Stopping to appreciate a row of pine trees.

Frog pond, once again, and this time I almost caught sight of one. I only heard the 'plop!' and saw the ripples in the water where the little creature had just jumped in.

The intimate and the grand

As always, Junior's doesn't disappoint.

As always, objects in space and time.

Late night subway scenery, whilst waiting for the 4 train.

Sunset Park, Brooklyn, the land of gigantic loft spaces. Or, lost spaces.

In the East Village one night after drinks

Through the window - a view of a well-maintained lobby. Condos near Ave. A.

I stayed in this building once for 6 months, but struggle to remember this entrance. I think it's been refurbished since I last stepped over the threshold in 1995. Or was it 1996...

The scenery along E. 14th Street to the subway at Union Square...

Park Place street fair - NY's Bravest entertain the neighborhood kids

After the tour of the fire engine, the kids get to try out the fire hose!

Found Art Along the Atlantic Yards, Brooklyn (and a few more funky thangs along the way)

Artful assemblage on the Pacific Street side of the Atlantic Yards fence.

This is a close up of the small photograph that adorns the second piece in the triptych.

And a series of locks securing the perimeter on Atlantic Ave. before one reaches the train yards.

You coulda got your taxes done here! Washington Ave.

On St. Mark's Place, Prospect Heights, needs a little work done.

Good to know that someone's in charge, but one prefers to trust the laws of physics.
