When I look down the street and see all these trees in a row, completely white and reflecting the sun it feels like I’m in the clouds. Heavenly really.
Even in my concrete jungle it doesn’t take much to notice that Spring is in full swing. The temperature is still chilly but the birds are building nests, the squirrels are stealing from the feeder and the trees are dropping seeds. The leaves aren’t out yet so it gives me the chance too to follow a few woodpeckers I’ve noticed recently from tree to tree. That and the occasional bird of prey would be the most exotic birds I observe around here but I’ll take it. Oh, maybe you would call dozens of pigeons flying in circles above the coop down the street exotic too.
When I pay attention and realize what nature is saying, it usually is the birds making a particular noise when the squirrel is on the feeder. Ha! I feel like they are training me to scare away the intruder.
The trip to the gardens was initiated by the last weekend of the orchid show and ultimately my awesome friend Jeanne.

Besides a rather wet and rainy day it didn’t dampen the show. Actually it made me want to see the thousands of orchids I remembered seeing at the New York International Orchid Show back in 2007. I was telling Jeanne all about it rather excitedly. Today though, I’ve come to realize it is no longer. What a disappointment since it was such a grand event. If anyone knows of similar shows for 2009 in the NYC area, please let me know where I can learn more – thanks.
Christopher called for lunch today. Enjoyed some Mexican food at Yola’s. Soon after it became three with Laura and we enjoyed some midday conversation. Great time to take a few shots.
Another great day with friends. The rain held off again and I even got some work done too. All the weekend’s photos are in this set on flickr. Most are of my friends but I managed to find other shots of the streets. Taking my camera out again has given me a feeling like that of Spring. I feel I’m part of Spring by taking my camera out again.
Had an awesome day today in Williamsburg with friends. Beautiful day as the rain held back. Ate brunch and took a walk with some very long time friends. I can’t remember when we were all together. It was a unique day in the company I had.
The face shots are from brunch and I gave instruction to, “Take a shot of the person sitting across from you.”
Then the others are sidewalk talk in Brooklyn, Williamsburg north side area.
