WEEKENDS BEGIN FRIDAY and END SUNDAY

FRIDAY

My 'Front Yard'

Walk to Union Square

(color altered)

At night it lights up like a Ruby

Magnificent Maple

Listened to this wonderful musician

Union Square

Walking up Fifth Avenue, I stumbled upon this Google Pop-up store

displaying apps to explore and more

You can plug in to their Virtual Reality screens and ride for free

The front window decorated with an Eighties theme

Further on up Fifth Avenue

Victorias Secret

 displaying gifts for the Holiday
(seems the corset is back in a modern incarnation)

The light of sunset illuminates parts...

...against a storm threatening sky

Turning toward home, observed this
Shameless Hubris

 Long shot on East 21st Street

Home, with my street rescued discarded bouquet

SATURDAY

This tree well feeder accommodates hungry doves

 Onward past an Irving Place small Hotel

 Buildings Shrouded in construction nets

  to the farmers market
Recycling food scraps...

...and wearable goods at Union Square

 What was once a famous Bank is now a Performance Space

Dappled clouds sweep across the sky

Vintage ford with Bicycle
I had a long conversation with a very nice man who survived two heart attacks. He was part of the crews setting up for a model shoot at the "Irving Plaza" - The Theater located at the southwest corner of Irving Place and East 15th Street in the Union Square neighborhood of Manhattan was built in 1888 and it served as a German language theater, a Yiddish theater, a burlesque house, a union meeting hall, a legitimate theater and a movie theater. Now, besides rentals, it's a live Music venue for rock and pop shows.

Cornerstone of the Welfare building
(someone left an unreadable message)

The Shrouded building again, against sky

One residential apartments building still has rose blooms

lovely

Across the street from my apartment
the School of Visual Arts new windowed atrium

One of the farmers I've known for years gave me an edible pumpkin I plan to halve Monday, clean seeds for drying, place halves face down in a pan of water to bake and then fill with seasoned rice and berries (yum)--Meanwhile it was movie night - "Ruby in Paradise" is the video we watched...see link.

SUNDAY

Rainy day at home resting, playing with images on the leaf letters project with the TV on to marathon images without sound.

FULL MOON--DAYLIGHT SAVINGS ENDS--GUY FAWKES DAY IS CELEBRATED- NEW YORK CITY MARATHON

The starting line for the race began at the Western end of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge on Staten Island. The finish line was in Central Park, just outside of Tavern on the Green. Later, the terrible news from Texas reached me. This light will burn all night in my front window for every grieving being.
