We had a day of rain, which sent me walking towards the Metropolitan Museum of Art. But the line there was out the door and down the street. So I wended further, and ended up at the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA). I had been handed a free pass into both those museums, so I figured I'd best take advantage of the gift. So, here are some of my views!

| A begonia tower at Bryant Park. I want to create one of these at home |
 |
| One more photographic update on this Bryant Park corner building under construction |
 |
| The Atrium, where I was told I wasn't allowed to take photos |
 |
| another shot of the wonderful architecturally pleasing place |
 |
| We were held at bay while the President's cavalcade came down Lexington Ave. The Police-woman teased us that it was Justin Beiber. |
 |
| The black SUV had flags flying on it, so we claim that it was the President's car. However, we joke that he was riding in the ice cream truck at the back of the cavalcade, since it's said that one never really knows if this is the President's car, or a fake. |
 |
| Autumn is here, but I call the color levels "back to school colors", since it's just beginning. |
 |
| strange tree boles |
 |
| Bethesda Fountain and Plaze "now" |
