WHY Do I See Red?

Posted in Fab Fotos, Uncategorized, tagged , , , , , , on February 12, 2011| 2 Comments »

Because it’s almost Valentine’s Day and what could be more appropriate than the RED the universal color for a heart!  Not to mention that February is American Heart Month so for the next couple of weeks, you can expect RED to be popping up here and there.

Central Park Snow Scenes -19″ Snow Fall the Day After

Posted in Fab Fotos, New York Speaks, Only in New York, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , on January 29, 2011| 7 Comments »

The Northeast is getting slammed this winter with snow storms, blizzards, snow lightning , you name it and we’ve gotten it.  This past Wednesday night we had yet another snow storm.  By morning 19 inches had fallen in Central Park.  Central Park is Manhattan’s emerald jewel in the summer  and alternatively a sparkly diamond and an iridescent opal in the winter.

As my regular readers know, many many of my Fab Foto Friday photos are taken in Central Park.  There’s just so much to see at any time of the year.  The birds, the flowers, the trees, the ponds, the landmarks, the bridges, the kids, the artists, the playgrounds, the picnicker, the runners, the skaters, the mimes, the jugglers, the acrobats, the break dancers, the gardens, the sculpture, the boats and ever so much more!

This Friday (and yes I am once again a day late) our Fab Fotos are from Central Park in all its beauty enhanced by 19″ of snow! This is what life in the City is when it snows!!!

SSSSssss Snow – Saucers – Central Park

Posted in Fab Fotos, New York Speaks, Only in New York, tagged , , , , , , on January 21, 2011| 2 Comments »

SSSsssss, well it may be a stretch but I just thought that the S sound was a twisty title for this blog post. And how apropos since there seems to be snow in the forecast every couple of days.  Either it’s impending or we’re told about storms forming in the Gulf or Canada or wherever but they all seem determined to touch down on the East Coast.  If New York City isn’t getting sleet or snow, then surely our little cottage on the Jersey Shore is getting slammed with several inches of snow!

But kids everywhere even big ones, will be kids, and kids and snow go together like rum and coca cola – I know – that’s a weird analogy considering rum and coca cola is usually a summer cocktail.

RED WHITE and BLUE – Central Park in the Winter

Posted in Fab Fotos, New York Speaks, Only in New York, tagged , , , , , , , , on January 12, 2011| 2 Comments »

Sundays in the Park with Murray could be a whole photo series unto itself…but for today I selected a few that make up a Fourth of July celebration in the middle of January.  Central Park, as you know, is a photographer’s canvas for all seasons.  Well if you read this blog, of course you know because I publish Murray’s photos depicting Central Park and its flora and fauna all through the year.  Our most recent snow fall provided a great backdrop and an integral component of this RED WHITE and BLUE  series.

C the Grackle

Clean, Clever, Clannish, Colorful, Consterned and Converging

Grackles, a common bird and sometimes confused with black starlings, are not considered by most to be a very exciting or exotic sighting.  Ah but look closely and you will SEE or rather C Grackles in a new light.

FAB FOTO FRIDAY

I know the heading says Friday but as you can see I am once again a day late!  Even though recently I had a Squirrely Saturday, I love  these little creatures (as long as they stay outside) and luckily so does Murray.  I think this series is remarkable not only in content but also because he was able to shoot it in rapid sequence.  What do you think?

FAB FOTO FRIDAY – RED Is Where You Find It

Posted in Fab Fotos, tagged , , , , , on December 10, 2010| Leave a Comment »

With Christmas around the corner, 15 days and counting, red is popping up everywhere.  Well actually if you’re looking for it, it really is everywhere or in our case, where you find it. So in this season of RED (and green) I thought it a good idea to continue the series of I See Red and Red Is Where You Find It.

FAB FOTO FRIDAY – “I’m Ready For My Close-Up”

Posted in Fab Fotos, New York Speaks, Only in New York, tagged , , , , , , , on December 4, 2010| Leave a Comment »

Don’t you wish you had a powerful lens like the one used to take these photos?  All you need is a bright sunny almost-Winter day in Central Park, the lens and of course the eye for spotting these little feathered creatures and the patience to capture their beauty.  I often  refer to the beauty of our world by saying Mother Nature, however, I’m really thinking that only God could create this beauty.  Today we are going to get some close-up photos of these wondrous feathered beings, and maybe a squirrel thrown in for good measure.

FAB FOTO FRIDAY – Sing A Song of Sixpence

...a pocket full of rye.

Four and twenty blackbirds

Baked in a pie

When the pie was opened

The birds began to sing

Wasn’t that a dainty dish

To set before a king!

I thought these photos were great – the beauty of nature and the artistry of the camera captured a “Mother Nature Moment” in Central Park.  These photographs were taken near Bethesda Fountain.

“Sunday in the Park with George” – No!! Murray!

FAB FOTO FRIDAY

I know, I know, it’s just soooooo New York! BUT hey Central Park IS New York AND it is a treasure trove for a photographer!  The wildlife alone provides numerous opportunities to capture the habits and habitats of the wild things that inhabit its 843 acres right smack in the middle of New York City.  Of course the animals, birds and flora are only one area of interest to the man with the camera;  There are playgrounds where the City kids can be found frolicking,  the Children’s Zoo, or the Carousel.  Or the tennis courts, basketball courts, roller skating area, bike paths, walking trails, bridle paths and baseball fields where one can snap photos of urban athletes.  There are dozens of statues of iconic figures, an Obelisk which is the oldest public monument in North America, Belvidere Castle, Bethesda Fountain (where you can always find street performers) and the Great Lawn and Strawberry Fields.  NEED I SAY MORE?
