STILL HERE - MORE GRATEFUL

Still November in New York City

AFTERNOON WALK

Third Avenue

The Catholic's garden in bloom...

 mighty tidy, and looking good for God...

 sweet Saint at the center.

 ~*~

MIDNIGHT WALK

First Avenue

Store manikin behind bars

(dreaming of dancing)

 Thanksgiving bargain Deli-Style 

(for those who just can't or don't want to cook)

 I Wonder

(Should I send cards?)

 ~*~

REALLY BIG SURPRISE

(straight from the heart of Australia)

It's the whole album!

Thirty Eight Songs by Rod Morgan

(on 4 discs)

Thirty Eight + Illustrations by Mo Orkiszewski

(Truth)

 (Paradise)

 The Card

"Thank you for all the light you bring into the world."

(I wept)

JULY WINDS DOWN TO A BLUE MOON

Gifts of embroidery

 from Julio's mom

 The neglected church garden still blooming Friday the 25th

 sweet

 Saturday

Once electrical problems were repaired

I put the kitchen in order

 Construction in the neighborhood

 Sunday

Temperatures soar into the nineties

 He had the sweetest voice

Lexington Avenue #6 at 23rd Street

 Changed at grand central and arrived

at Lincoln Center Damrosch Park

 for free Judy Collins concert

 Someone filmed the last bit (not me) a little talk and sing along 

"Amazing Grace"

(rough footage but her voice is solid)

Monday

The outside color changed suddenly

Storm weather, but no rain, only flies

 This is my fly catcher

 Tuesday in the neighborhood

(collapsed)

 Someone turned the stone Francis

dragged it off it's central place

(unsuccessful thieves)

 Weed trees growing in three street containers

 Wednesday

Temperature hits high nineties-over 100 with heat index

"Every law not based on Wisdom is a menace to the State"

 "We must not use force unless just laws are defied"

 My friend Michael

 Appellate division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York

Design by James Brown Lord 1896

 Madison Square Park

Free Concert

 Happy despite the heat index

 With her daughter and grandchild

 He's proud of his plane

Energetic dance move

 The judge for the dance contest was the original 'cowboy'

from

The Village People

 barefoot dancing despite the heat

 The dance-off on stage

 One winner is picked

 by a process of elimination

Thursday I stayed home with air conditioning

Tonight is a blue moon Astronomically speaking
