The sights and sounds of NY –

Blinding sun glinting off the Hudson River by Riverside Park yesterday,

a rude heckler yelling “Yah! Go!  Keep it up” as I did my jump-roping and “burpees” in the park,

Jews gathered in groups along the parkway path reading and singing in observance of Rosh Hashanah today,

the “fwap-fwap” of my Nike windbreaker as I braced head-first into the 30 mph wind gusts on my early evening walk,

and this curious seed pod I picked up, put in my pocket, (and only remembered when I laid on my side and thought my hip bone was going bad),

all led me to create this pendant rendering tonight:

I’m dedicating this rendering to my parents, who are celebrating their 42nd anniversary tonight.

      Hi Nina,

      I’m really enjoying my moments here…lots of factors are contributing, but for now I’m not going to spend too much time analyzing why:-)

      Thanks for continuing to check in!
