Central Park

The tree was here first, I can see where they laid the stones around the base of the tree.  How did they go about estimating how wide the opening should be? 

Would the stone layers be surprised if they could come back today and see just how large the tree has become--how it is bursting at the seams of the package they tried to wrap it in?

A secret "fort" we found under some large bushes in Central Park.   Enchanted.

The roof of the Met has a cafe and we usually stop up there for a sandwich when we visit.  This time there was a huge art display.  It was difficult to get the entire tree in the frame of the camera so I turned to the mirrored windows.   When I uploaded this picture a few days ago I found Steve watching me, there in the photo. Better than any art piece.

Elevator shot, I have a collection of these, of us, it is impulsive with me.  I cannot ride in an elevator with a reflective ceiling and not take a picture!

We met a very nice Art major student who was sketching.  She was so kind and patient with all of Coco's questions about what she was doing.

Out in one of the large halls I observed a woman: in one hand she held a cell phone that she was using to take a picture of a postcard of a statue, held in her other hand. 

Behind her, just steps away, was the actual statue that was pictured in the postcard that she was taking a photograph of.

Rings from Bible times.  If my notes are right, they are from the time of Abraham.

I was taking pictures of an old recovered Egyptian temple and when I turned back I found the kids like this.

Gorgeous shots, Jo! Brings back a lot of fun memories from our trip to NYC with you guys. I cracked up at the story of the cell phone picture ... there ought to be a pithy statement in there somewhere about the state of our society, but at the moment, I'm just laughing at the absurdity.

Love that last picture of the kids. Did Steve set them up like that, or was that all on their own? Their expressions are priceless!

OK, so I think I have the excuse for the woman with the cellphone. She probably really liked the statues, but couldn't get a good picture of it on her cellphone camera (which are complete garbage if anything is far away)so she took a picture of the postcard instead to get the detail.

I love the kids by the statues. How funny.

I want to visit there with Dave. We could be there for days.

I LOVE your pictures!
I am totally into elevator ceiling pictures starting right now.
Wish I'd have thought of that a long time ago!!! How F-U-N!
We've been talking about doing a day trip to the city...now I want to go to that museum!
Any expert tips on how you navigate...? Public Transportation vs. Parking Garage? Other favorite places?

Happy Tuesday!

The kids are so fun posing like that.
I like seeing the art student sketching. I loved that in England, kids would be sprawled out on the floor drawing in the museums, you don't see that so much here.
Cool to think of rings from that long ago, and who wore them.
