It’s such a beautiful day. It deserves documenting.

The year in review

Too early for a best-of list?

See that?

Elaborate graffiti complements this empty storefront.

The Green Kitchen was a staple on this corner for about 40 plus years. My mother and I would split the dinner specials years ago. My husband and I, too.

Traffic and trucks

Traffic and trucks

Hex & Co. is a new addition to the neighborhood and, even so, has established itself.

There’s nothing new about traffic on 1st Avenue or the colorful trucks that pull up by curbside.

Much of my time

Friendly or neighborly, quiet or brisk, walks give us a different perspective. There is always so much to learn as we step boldly around and about.

We skirt obstacles we never thought would be important. We are greeted by fresh vistas.

Walking is an exploration. Each time we uncover a new path or a place we had not noticed on our last trip.

Every walk is a revelation.

How could I have missed that?

Look here. Look what’s new?

So, I took a little walk

Tugboat

Cheerful little tugboat passing. I was dodging traffic to capture it.

81st between York and 1st is an odd little hodge-podge.

Rainy day windows and a display of a still summery-green bed nearby.

Walk-a-bout!

Watching the window finishings around town. These trims are very common for buildings of a certain age.

Turns out this corner is a new Robert AM Stern building, explaining the similarities.

Somehow, these balconies just seem unkempt.
