The last elm standing?

Not quite.  There are several American Elms on Governors Island. 

Not sure how they have survived, but glad they did.

Happy New Year

Semaphor?

If so - what's the message?

The Queen

From afar - she looms.  Up close, she is enormous.

Sept. 22

VIP reception last night.  Lots of prep work.  Lots of cleaning up. A good, exhausting evening.

Mom came for a vist.  A beautiful day.

Island dwellers.

Back to the island.

There are some wonderful residential buildings on the island.  All empty.  Too bad.

Sept. 9.

What is real, and what isn't.  A good question to ask this weekend.

I had a special visitor today.

Wet Wed.

Ok, so I lied.  This is what it looks like out the window, sort of.

Rain, yet again

On this very wet, gray day, I choose to ignore what I'm seeing and offer this beautiful cloud formation instead.

Labor Day

Sunday, Sept. 4

Sunday was very sultry.  My first weekend out here. A whole other world.
