A year since I've last posted, but this wonderful event always gets me out with the camera. As always, the crowd and judge favorites are the home-made costumes on happy dogs. Even some of the...

My favorite photo-event of the year! Fort Greene Pups changed the venue at the last minute from Fort Greene Park to 313 Clinton Avenue because the Saturday snow on trees full of leaves create...

The new WTC is now the tallest building in lower Manhattan. I think the perspective from my Brooklyn apartment makes it look a little shorter than some of the others. They are adding a floor ...

I've been to Spain and back, and this photo taken on the sidewalk outside our co-op is my favorite in a looong time!
I left a little earlier than usual this evening and thanks to the longer days and probably the warm and humid air, the birds were particularly vocal along the south side of Bryant Park. A close...

Easter is a good day to get back into the blog. My absence was mostly due to the new job, some business trips, and the long winter where I just couldn't take or post another flake of snow. I've...
We don't have a cat tower; it is surprisingly hard to find a good one in Brooklyn, and shipping costs are too high for ordering over the internet. So we keep a rickety wooden ladder up in the bed...

I'm still enjoying the snow, but not as much as the dogs. This handsome fella skipped the cleared stairs to the right - the snow was more fun! Some don't let 18 inches of snow a...

Bryant Park on the way home. I promise I'll soon go off my usual path to work and back to get capture some other NYC scenes. I'll be super-inspired next month - I'm going to take a one-day s...

I don't do New Year's resolutions, but I would like to find the time to blog more. With the new smaller camera, it is so much easier to photograph the small and large wonders I see everyday. ...

Adam from work sent me this video.... Give it a shot - so funny!

The sunrise hit Manhattan this morning like it was the golden land. Out on the street and into the subway, it was treacherous. Bryant Park. I was surprised to see how bad ...
Ah-hah! Lola didn't see the iPhone leaning over the edge of the couch. (just a 6 second video) Not that she denies anything.
I always love the day after Christmas. So peaceful, great leftovers, and time to relax after all the craziness leading up to the big day. And now I have many hours to spend getting to know my...

...BY MY OWN CAT. We finished decorating the tree yesterday, and after going to bed, I kept hearing plink plink plink. I had to get up 3-4 times to "tell" Lola to stop playing with the low lyin...
Brrr - cold and windy today. I was out and about without the camera yesterday, and today I'm enjoying a warm cup of tea, some delicious sweet rosemary shortbreads from our grateful neighbor ...

You would think that sharing walls, halls and elevators, we would get to know our neighbors well, but such proximity tends to make New Yorkers more private. We've been here for over 7 years, an...
The Brooklyn Flea left the school yard a block away and moved indoors into the Williamsburgh Bank Building (the big "middle finger" salute in my header photo) until next Spring. Add a chilly wi...

With the wonderful new job has come two more great perks: an iPhone and a different path to work. To most, the commute would seem nearly identical to my old - same train options, same train s...
No neighborhood walk this weekend. I came down with a cold yesterday afternoon - I blame the subway. I thought a little walk would do me some good, but only made it as far as the Brooklyn Flea (1...
After the carnival-like atmospheres of Halloween and the Marathon, this has been a quiet weekend in Clinton Hill/Fort Greene except for the colors. The Autumn foliage came late this year, but i...

There was no extra hour of sleep this morning. After Lola woke us up with her usual pre-dawn clawing, pawing and noise-making, the sounds on the street began. Soon there were sirens, church b...
*Ramble definition: 1. To move about aimlessly. 2. To walk about casually or for pleasure. A crisp and sunny Saturday morning in the Clinton Hill/Fort Greene. There is more spring in...

I've been enjoying so many autumnal scenes and photos on the blogs that I thought I would like to share some too. These were taken during a recent early morning at the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens of...

Clinton Hill gets dressed up and celebrates Halloween more than any other holiday. Whole brownstones are covered in decorations, and there are three music shows within 2 blocks of us. Some st...
