Yay! Computer's working again.

Well, the title says it all. I know you know where I'm coming from if your looking at this from your computer or phone. ha!

Needless to say, pictures have been accumulting these weeks!! Of course, they're mostly wintery ones since we went straight from winter to a 100-degree heatwave today (I've go that great song by Martha and the Vandelles in my head!  HEATWAVE live!). I've been hearing the firetrucks more than usual. If it's within your power, please don't open the fire hydrants full blast and spend all our precious water on the streets. okay.

So speaking of our wonderful city and it's various neighborhoods. Here's shots of my favourite Patrick in the Park at Gramercy Park. We went for a short stroll :) There are endless politics surrounding this park so i will stay mum on it. Here you can enjoy a look at the gardens and massive trees!

This pic reminds me of Great Expectations...

Patrick giving me a verbal history :)

Ciao! xo

Seriously. Where is Spring?!! lol. I've been waiting for MONTHS (we all have here in the northeast!) but the tease days we've had recently are enough to set. it. off.  Argh.

The Preservationist

This is Mel Adelglass. He is a photographer and also a preserver of valuable things.

I met him walking down the street. At the time he was saving a reel-to-reel from destruction.

Melvin is a New Yorker. The Volvo behind him is also his. He said, to me "who has a car form 1984 any more?"
