Twilight of the Leaf

Caboose

Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind

Reflections

A building on Sixth Avenue blocks a would-be reflected view of the Empire State Building. You see a peek at the ESB but that is all we get.

Rainy Window

We have rain again and much colder weather. Fall has come.

Little Man

The little man comes upon a mostly covered sign. He wonders about the obscured message to motorists but he moves right along.

Delancey Storefront

Evil Carrot AC

I couldn't help but notice this air conditioner today. Temperatures reached the 70's again, too, though one wouldn't consider this truly "AC Weather"...

UPDATE: Thanks to all of you who voted in the 2007 BLOGGER'S CHOICE AWARDS. With your support, New York Nitty-Gritty became a Best Photography Blog Finalist.
Hip Hip, Hooray!!

Little Man Sunset

No ESB

The Empire State Building disappears from time to time--and not through the work of illusionists or magicians. Here, low clouds obscure our view of the skyscraper.

Dish Stain

Flower Pot Squirrel

This time of year, I enjoy the antics of the local squirrel population. How industrious they are!

Well, they do cause some trouble in the flower pots but, oh, well. A little digging and spreading of dirt isn't so bad. Keep burying those acorns, Squirrel Nutkin!

For The Birds

Enjoy some rainy day Manhattan graffiti.

OPIEM

Graffiti, the drug of choice!

No Status Quo

73

We had a last gasp of summer-style weather but the experts say to get ready for change. And, by "change", they don't mean pennies from heaven...well, maybe the clear liquid kind of "pennies".

Leaf

The season--it is a'changin'.

The Pony

1987 - 2007

"For in that sleep of death, what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause."
(HAMLET)

Blessed with the mobility you provided, over the years, we travelled in all but one of the United States. Nebraska. Go figure, huh?

We shared our youth and we came to New York.

But now you know more than I about the cruelty of objects and weather and time.
Rest in peace, Pony*

Come on, replace our divots, huh? Let's be careful out there!
