Alexander is my grandson. He’s the only male (among seven females in my immediate family). He recently graduated from University in the UK and has come here, I imagine, to explore his American Roots (his mother was born in the USA).

I went into New York City (Manhattan) to see him. We had a pleasant lunch and a few beers at The Perfect Pint on 45th street between second and third avenues.

I haven’t seen him for a sometime so I’m glad that he’ll be in New York for a while.

Taken with his phone. I don’t know what brand/model it was.

A Walk through Peekskill – Ice Cream

As I mentioned earlier it was a very hot and humid day. As I left Ramenesque I noticed this group of people eating ice cream. A wonderful opportunity for a bit of street photography, I thought. Pity the guy on the far left was not a foot or two away from the rest. I could perhaps have waited to see if he would move, but I had to get to my train and I was a little concerned that they might notice me.

Children in a bouncy castle

It’s that time of year again. School’s out and the Briarcliff Manor Recreation Department organizes a variety of different summer camps. That means that there are swarms of excited children all around the village.

As I was walking into the village to have some lunch, I spotted a “bouncy castle” in the distance. I didn’t need to get too close to as the little Sony DSC-H50 that I was testing has a 31-465mm (35mm equiv) lens.

The children seemed to be having a great time.
