Historic South Street Seaport

If there is one thing you have to do when you come to NYC, you must walk South Street Seaport early in the morning (before the hordes of tourists appear) The buildings are absolutely timeless. South Street Seaport, NYC 7/8/07

Eww bugs!


OK, this big green bug came to visit our apartment window on Sunday. I'm not sure what kind of bug it is, but it sure is primitive looking. If you know what it is, (it's not a praying mantis) drop a note in the comments section. UES, NYC 8/19/07

Grafitti in Queens

I wonder what their names are. In Queens, when you take the 7 train out of NYC, there is a designated area where it's "legal" to create graffiti art. This was shot from the 7 train coming around the bend. Queens, NYC 7/28/07
