Oh the sweet memories of youth!  I can remember the eternal and annual question of the month – October that is:  What are you going to be for Halloween? Now depending on who was asking, you either told or said “I’m not telling, it’s a secret”. I miss going out for Halloween and I’m talking about going out with my friends, not taking my kids out.  My husband always did that because I LOVED getting dressed up and scaring the bejesus out of the kids who came to the door.  I carved the pumpkins, set up the spooky music and had a ball!  And I got to eat  Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups between Trick or Treaters.

Anyway, I thought you might enjoy some Halloween inspiration as we approach my favorite holiday.

The angle of the sun has changed and the shadows at 1:00 in the afternoon are longer than they have been all summer.  The life guards have gone back to college, the dogs are back on the beach frolicking and chasing each other or balls or waves.  People are riding their bicycles on the once forbidden boardwalk, there is hardly anyone on the beach and most are  wearing shorts and not bathing suits – This is a Sunny Sunday in October in Ocean Grove.

FAB FOTO FRIDAY

If you don’t live in New York , maybe you’ve read about how our Mayor Bloomberg is cleaning up the City, we don’t smoke, we don’t eat transfats…he has pedestrian malls in two of Manhattan’s busiest squares; Times Square and Union Square and he would like to eliminate most of the cars.  Take away the cars, the MTA keeps increasing their fares and what’s left?

Take a look at the Signs of the Time.

The Friday Fotos are FAB or at least I think so and you can look in the archives by clicking on the Fab Foto Friday category on the home page.  I hope you like these!  All photos were taken in Central Park which is an endless source of rich subject matter.

FAB FOTO FRIDAY

Of all the streets in Manhattan, none is more famous than Fifth Avenue.  Why half the parades in town march up this beautiful avenue!  There are stores, museums, Rockefeller Center and one of the world’s great parks-Central Park.  A stroll down the Avenue with a good camera and an even better eye and this is what you might see in one Friday afternoon.
