Comments (0) On our first day in New York, temperature just above zero, we walked from 53rd St. to 4th St. Though our feet were tired we took in a lot of interesting architecture.
First time at the American Museum of Natural History! We met many relatives, from Lucy to cousin Neanderthal to butterflies! At the Hayden Planetarium, a glass cube with a giant sphere inside, we could visualize the relative size of everything in the universe. Okay, not everything.
On a brutally cold and windy day we walked across the Brooklyn Bridge to the Transit Museum. To our surprise it was located in an unused subway station. Apart from the informative displays we enjoyed the kid-friendly activities. Photos courtesy of Val Dodge.
Of course photos don’t do great art justice.
Today in New York, in spring-like weather, we wandered the Highline, a park built on an elevated rail line. These photos show what you see on either side of the unique park.
This guy (maybe she’s a girl) lives in our pond and is very still while being photographed.
Here are some recent photos with the 200mm macro lens.
Quick, before spring’s temporary arrival is over here are some pics from a visit to the Ganaraska Millenium Conservation Area . This is my second time using my new 180mm macro lens – just getting the hang of it. Though everything is still brown the sun makes it look happier.
As a surprise Val took me to the PrimRose donkey sanctuary in Roseneath, about half an hour away from our cottage. Here are some of the lovely donkeys and mules. They take donations if you’re interested.
On Christmas day I checked out my backyard: what a mess. However, there’s always something to take a picture of. This time I tried to shoot some man-made things as opposed to just my usual leaves and natural detritus.
