Watch your thoughts…
“Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.” -Frank Outlaw From the entrance to the Socrates Sculpture Park in Astoria, Queens “Promenade” by Robin Rhode. I love this piece! This quote is […]
Be who you are and say what you feel…
“Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.” – Dr Seuss This photo was taken at the Socrates Sculpture Park in Astoria, Queens. The sculpture in the photo is called “Cenotaph” by Adriana Farmiga and it’s wonderfully deceiving. On either side is […]
Be steeped in the light of them…
“Shut your eyes, wait, think of nothing. Now, open them … one sees nothing but a great coloured undulation. What then? An irradiation and glory of colour.

Inclusion in Schmaps Niagara Falls Guide…

You get what you take from it so be amazed…
“All This Beauty” by The Weepies All this beautyYou might have to close your eyesAnd slowly open wideAll this beauty, we traveled all nightWe drank the ocean dryAnd watched the sun rise You can ask about it, but nobody knows the wayNo breadcrumb trail to follow through your daysIt takes an axe, sometimes a featherIn […]
Not a soul is in the park…
“Sleeping on the Ceiling” by Elizabeth Bishop It is so peaceful on the ceiling! It is the Place de la Concorde. The little crystal chandelier is off, the fountain is in the dark. Not a soul is in the park. Below, where the wallpaper is peeling, the Jardin des Plantes has locked its gates. […]
