Winding down and preparing to head home

Well, it's been another great time in New York.

The horse would take a mouthful and while he chewed, the birds would flock to his bucket to eat.  He would then kick the bucket with his front foot, and take another mouthful when the pigeons had scattered.

The view from the last train car window

Frederick Douglas tile portrait at 110th St.

Came to this station on the 1 route to capture the tile art, seen in the following few photos

This is the Weed World truck with the kinds of bud available, and they deliver!

The Hugh O'Neill building

here are our banded wrists

Here we are, after standing for over an hour in line to become the welcoming audience-crowd for the Season 9 premiere of America's Got Talent.  Didn't really get to see much, truthfully; just lights and people and the "scene", but now we can claim to have "been on t.v.".

this is us just before they "put us to work" cheering and clapping and appearing thrilled to be there

they kept telling us crowd-members to cheer, but to put the cameras down.

This is what we could see of the Rockettes from our position.  Some of the audience-crowd didn't even know the Rockettes were right above them.

We squeezed through the barriers and escaped to get a better view from across 6th Avenue.  Then we went for an ice cream cone.

I may have put this place onto the blog last year.

Cool buildings; which you are about to see more of in this post.

Brooklyn Diner in Manhattan

choke-cherries? mulberries?

tennis balls galore

It's a dog party; a big dog party!

I loved this tree, and the light upon it.

Sounds a bit, well, hmm, better not say.

It's like a circus!

when I first looked up, I almost fell down

So I turned 180 degrees, and tried again

Time & Life building

I'll probably have one more NYC post, because I have Jeffery's photos to show, and more on my camera.  But for now; it is my last day in Gotham, and I fly out first thing in the morning.  See you in California!
