A trip to Rosario Beach in the afternoon finally turned on the “vacation mode” switch in my mind. Walking the trails near the cliffs and being surrounded by quiet and nature, and not a single piece of trash in sight, it’s shocking. New York parks are so dirty ๐
A warm-up photo with my camera ๐ท

In Washington, it seems there are parks around every corner. A park for a walk. A park for sitting on a bench and relaxing. A park for you and your dog - and then a dog park inside that park as well. There’s even a spot for gnomes.
Fun times. ๐ท



On a walk around west village, we saw this little guy looking at us through the window. ๐ท๐ถ

A quiet weekend away from the city is a remedy every New Yorker should take every now and then.

I enjoy these walks that end on a bench somewhere, looking at the leaves, feeling grateful for places such as these. ๐ท

After waking up several times with thoughts and brainstorming sessions during the night, I decided to work with a pocket notebook ๐ again. ๐ท
Unlike my phone, it doesnโt have emails and messages waiting to grab my attention, or a screen to shine into my eyes.

Iโm not an art expert, but this looks like a piece of junk they pulled out of the water. Itโs an eyesore in this otherwise green park. ๐ท

I get peaches at the farmer’s market down the block. I have to wait two days before they’re ready to be eaten, but they’re worth the wait. ๐ท

World Trade Center, on my way to Jersey City ๐ท


Typical NYC hangout, complete with coffee and your typical “heavily stickered and graffiti-covered hand dryer” (sometimes the AI description nails it) in the bathroom ๐ท:


And still more doors of Hudson, from when I was around yesterday without my camera. I took these with my phone. ๐ท
More doors of Hudson ๐ท
Two more targets of opportunity with the iPhone. Hudson, NY ๐ท
One of the things that immediately captured my eye were some of the houses and their doors, specifically. Here are some pictures from my first round with my camera. ๐ท
From a couple of days ago: a night out with drinks. It was fun. ๐ท

One of the things I like about living in NYC is that Pride is everywhere. Even though it’s somewhat over the top (more of a brand and marketing thing than what it is supposed to be), the fact that it’s important enough to be a brand is important in itself. ๐ท

A walk the streets of New York. Nearby NYU, heading east, captured on the move with an iPhone ๐ท

Yesterday I walked into the park and sat on a tree trunk I found years ago. I sat on it as I did back then, letting my mind drift, surrounded by the sound of the leaves rustling in the wind, enjoying my lunch.
The picture ๐ท is from nearby, turned into a watercolor painting with AI and Photoshop.

Mouse introduced me to their friend and a guard at a local pet store last night. ๐ท I’ve walked these streets a hundred times, but I don’t see the things they do. It’s like discovering a hidden world in the world I know each time.

Man Iโd love some beer from this truckโฆ ๐ท
