I liked the rather abstract look of the small, brighter yellowy-green leaves against the dark water.

Another attempt at macro photography. Getting better – as long as my subject is stationary. I’m still not too good with a moving target.

Around the Neighborhood – Undulating grass
Taken at the nearby Trump National Golf Course. The blowing grass made me think of the sea. For a moment I managed to erase the thought that this was taken on the road by the Trump property.

Another trip into Manhattan – Returning home
Ornate column outside the Charles Scribner’s Sons Building, also known as 597 Fifth Avenue, on Fifth Avenue between 48th and 49th Streets. Designed by Ernest Flagg in a Beaux Arts style, it was built from 1912 to 1913 for the Scribner’s Bookstore. When I first came to NY it was still a bookstore. I loved going there. Nowadays the space once occupied by the bookstore is now a Lululemon store.

Another trip into Manhattan – lunch at ‘Inside Park at St. Bart’s’
We had lunch at Inside Park at St. Bart’s, which occupies a portion of St. Bartholomew’s Church (seen in the background): a historic Episcopal parish founded in January 1835, and located on the east side of Park Avenue between 50th and 51st Street in Midtown Manhattan, in New York City. In 2018, the church celebrated the centennial of its first service in its Park Avenue home. In 1992, with the parish’s support, the St Bartholomew’s Preservation Foundation was established. After a two-year fund drive, restoration of the St. Bartholomew’s site began. Leaking roof drains were made watertight, the iconic dome was temporarily secured, and the Great Terrace and 50th Street wall were rebuilt. “Inside Park,” the site’s popular restaurant, also opened in 1992.
At Inside Park at St. Bart’s waiting for my visitor to arrive.
