Across the city, images evoke Tolkien. Two towers abound. Today’s trip to Central Park brought a different image. Look closely. They are there.
See you along the Trail.

Doesn’t that hurt?
I have seen ducks do this.
Again and again.
And I do not understand.
It’s like an Exorcist thing.
Well, maybe it’s a duck physiology thing.
In any case, it amazes me.

Central Park, New York
Why I like New York 11 – music in Central Park
I spent much of the afternoon in Central Park.
Music filled the air,
particularly on the Mall.
Soul-filled,
spirit renewing tunes.
These guys were my favorite.

Central Park, New York
Strawberry Fields. Forever.
Tricia chose to spend a couple of days in New York before returning to Cleveland – in part to take advantage of the Tuesday air fares. We spent the day seeing some of the city and hanging with friends.
The day began with a walk-by of the apartment where our son will live when he soon moves to New York. Then we walked to Central Park where, as an acoustic guitar gently played, we viewed Strawberry Fields. We journeyed through the park to the Central Park Zoo which proved a challenge to find, which seemed odd considering how big it is. After the zoo, we made our way to the 9/11 Memorial Area. We had no tickets, so we simply walked by the outside.
Headed back uptown, we stopped for dinner at Vnyl in Hell’s Kitchen. Then on to Max Caffe where a number of good folks joined us for conversation, food and drink, and the simple joy of being together.
A day to remember, to learn, to mourn, and to give thanks. A good day.
See you along the Trail.
Willow at Harlem Meer
The willow,
driven mad by
thirst it cannot quench
via its root system,
dips its branches into
Harlem Meer.
