NYC in July…

Posted on by

I’m here in the big city to take care of Ted, Jeff’s cat. He and I are getting along very well because I feed him on schedule. He would like to be fed more often but he’s a big guy (18 lbs) and he really should not be snacking. He does not believe that is true 🤣.

I’ve been out in Central Park and in the area west and south of there. I’ve walked many of these streets before but it’s not hard to find something new to notice.

Notice all the pigeons!
Just around the corner of the monument, this guy had zero pigeons. Maybe he smells bad :-).
Between rain showers.

Made to Bethesda Fountain…

I’ve not seen plants in the pool before. Nice!

There were lots of people out and about on Sunday. Lots of people sitting on the grassy areas. I live where just the idea of sitting in grass makes me itch. Chiggers. If you don’t have them where you live, count yourself blessed.

I cannot imagine stilton on grass.
A bench, or a big rock… I would sit there :-).

And then there are the random fun things…

Chris Columbus, perched above the traffic circle that bears his name.
Copper weather vane of a gazelle(?) on top of a maintenance building at the zoo. Notice the bird on its nose.
Conservatory Water pond in Central Park
A Strand Bookstore kiosk outside the park.
Love this giant disco ball that is part of something at Lincoln Center. I do not have tickets so this is the best view I found.

This morning I got to an amazing gluten free bakery, Modern Bread and Bagel. I came home with a slice of cinnamon bread and a bagel. Oh, my, the cinnamon bread is amazing. I’m going to do something with the bagel for dinner.

The icing is not necessary—but it’s good :-).

I will be out and about more through the rest of the week and will post more photos here and on Instagram and FB :-). Right now I have to get back to work!
