What you See is What you Get
Sure seems to be mighty dark out there in the big bad world, but something unexpected happens when the mind is clear enough to see squash blossoms in a box on the street at shin height when walking quickly to get somewhere on time...

...or to notice the elephant in plain view on Third Avenue which has been there for years
... or to stop a minute, take the time to read messages on signs one passes every day:
"Jesus walked on water so he wouldn't have to take the Subway"
I'm on the Bus heading Uptown
"Bye-bye"
Remember
Trader Joe loves everyone.

Sunday
On the bus again-uptown and crosstown to Lincoln Center
Best attended concert of the summer the guards told me. I roamed and only took a few photographs because most of the time I was dancing--just me and Cora Cane with a thousand or so other people.
Snapping images

Sunday
On the bus again-uptown and crosstown to Lincoln Center
Snapping images
Dressed so fine
Celebrating
Being close
Embracing
All enjoying the free event, mild weather, the Great Bonnie Raitt and her very fine band.

On the way I met a swell Swiss photographer here on assignment who shot a lot of photos of me (eek) and showed me his new daughter and wife back in Zurich. Very sweet. Hope he sends me some shots (said he would). I thought I shot one of him on my camera but it wasn't there so I didn't.
There was some protesting nearby-very civilized-educating and recruiting quietly.

Waiting for the bus to take me Home
"If music be the food of love, play on,Give me excess of it; that surfeiting,The appetite may sicken, and so die."
(Act One, Scene One, lines one through three from Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare)

I've been in love with Bonnie Raitt since the seventies. Although I can't show you the concert from tonight, and everyone knows she's a blues master (B.B.King said so) but she delivers this ballad straight to my heart.
