Decorating

Current state of the nest: unfeathered.

Even the dog is confused.

So I wander along Broadway pondering the pillow possibilities

 and the linens (here vintage tablecloths of obvious retro-allure.)

Here moving more delicately upmarket.

Crisp piping says summer in spades.

Out and About

Food stand on 9th Avenue.

The smiling man took my photo with the dog.

In Union Square the other day, the musician  decided

 to cover up his face which confused the boy - and me.

 

No respite from those pesky squirrels even when

 sitting down for lunch in Madison Square Park.

These workers are setting up the umbrellas at the

 intersection of Broadway,  5th Avenue and 23rd Street.

These planters and picnic tables are a wonderful improvement.

I Can See Clearly Now

For some thoughts on the haiku festival see Tracy's thoughtful blog post here.

Lord Ganesha encourages us to dance. 

Broadway and 20th Street.

A long time ago we were told to curb our dogs.

The ghost dog still dances.

22nd Street and 8th Avenue.

Below my study window is a little garden.

One day we saw that someone had thrown the  prop-up sign from the

 clairvoyant and palm reader across the street into the bushes.

I asked R. if I should go and tell them where their sign was.

He thought that should not be necessary. They now have a new sign.

What a jumble of puffed up monsters in Stella McCartney's window!
