Some pictures and observations from a recent foray to The Big Apple

A cold winter day in Central Park made me think of California Dreamin’

My husband is from New York. He thought that Times Square was impressive but added that it was “not Tokyo.” Hmph.

The Disney Store offers plenty of gifts for the patriotic Mousketeer

The Dakota looms as brooding and as ominous as ever.

An interesting juxtaposition of architecture

Sometimes it’s hard to tell what is real from what is only a reflection.

It was such a beautiful day! I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Earrings

Clasps

And Terri gave me these cool bracelets that jangled on my wrist for the whole Clayathon. Thanks!!!!

So much going on this week! Robin Hiteshew’s photography show “Faces of Irish Music” opened in New York and while we were there, I visited the Museum of Art and Design and saw fabulous exhibit of the work of Joyce Scott. I hope to write about those in future posts because now, I am getting ready for Clayathon!
