Continuing along on the Flat Stanley tour of the city, another one of my favorite New York landmarks is the public library with its exquisite architecture and sculptures, an enduring symbol of boundless learning and wisdom.
Last weekend, with the recent snowfall barely melted and the lingering winter chill, we dashed off to New York for the quickest of visits. Coincidentally {and rather amusingly}, a friend’s daughter asked us to help with her Flat Stanley project and we took the opportunity to test out the new camera at a few of New York’s famous landmarks. First up: Central Park, and despite its barren tree branches, still possessed a quiet sparkle with the undeniable whisper of warm days ahead.
A design and decor must in New York City is the inimitable ABC Home, filled with floor after floor of dreamy inspiration. Years ago, as a student, I recall perusing its endless displays of ingenuity and lavishness that prompted many a day dream building impossibly sumptuous rooms. On a recent visit to my beloved city, I stopped by the store briefly and was once again able to revel in its glorious grandeur … bowls of stardust, whimsical little mice, and all the French inspired furnishings one could possibly want. Have a splendid Easter weekend …
Driving down from Whistler, BC a few weeks ago, we passed through Vancouver to indulge our love of Japanese ramen, and of course, stopped into a favorite decor shop, The Cross. Picked up these pretty things … including an amazing zebra striped leather pillow. Every time I visit, I get the urge to completely redecorate my home and fill it with marvelous furnishings from the store. Have a fabulous weekend.
Despite a rather blustery weekend, hints of spring abound as we peered over Queen Anne Hill at the pretty Seattle cityscape below. Continuing to discover the endless capabilities of the new Nikon D600 camera, especially on Saturday during Andy’s crew team {Sammamish Rowing Association} race at Green Lake. CHI Fotographi’s arsenal of telephoto lenses made the race images possible.
