Orangent you glad that Murray Head sends me photographs to post?
FAB FOTO FRIDAY
Even though it’s Saturday, these photos were taken on Friday so they still count as our FAB FOTO FRIDAY featured photographs. You’ve heard of Sunday in the Park with George, this is Friday in the park with Murray!

If you have been following the blog or FAB FOTO FRIDAYS you know that a while ago I featured an art installation on Dag Hammerskjold Plaza near the United Nations. It is called Borders with human-like sculptures posed standing and sitting in the park. Today is MAY DAY! In additions to the Borders “people”, Dag Hammerskjold Plaza was home to a true May Day celebration.

It’s FAB FOTO FRIDAY and we haven’t had a RED series in a while. Two of my favorite themes are (and you already know the answer) are Art is Where You Find It and RED or RED is Where You Find It.
Today we’re going RED.

Many of you know that in my FAB FOTO FRIDAY segment, I have a few ongoing series such as RED, FACES , Art Is Where You Find It and a couple others. These photos were taken in Lower Manhattan and through the eye of the artist shooting them, an every day cityscape becomes a piece of art.

Late again! There are reasons… really!!! Some issues at work are distracting me and keeping me pre-occupied and my husband is ill with a horrific attack of the much-dreaded shingles. God, what a nasty condition that is and he is so much pain. And another family member underwent serious surgery this past week, and my daughter and family moved into their New York apartment which meant I got to babysit Finley Ray for two-day and two nights which are better known as Movie Night for Finley. I saw Toy Story and I think this is the 8th showing of Cinderella. I just love those mice!
JUST in case you didn’t already know, I have two cats whose names are Nick and Nora. They are brother and sister and are rescue cats. We spent a lot of time coming up with a set of names, not too cutsie, not too highbrow (I mean they’re not Persians or Siamese) and eventually Peter and I knew exactly what they should be named. They are named after Nick and Nora Charles , the martini-drinking couple from the movie series The Thin Man.
NORA - Just a little something on my paw
Nicky - You handsome devil!

Previously I tried to capture some of my Christmas decor in the cottage, but I don’t think the photos did justice to the look. Murray was here for Christmas dinner and he snapped a few “arty” pictures and I love them, so I’m sharing them!!

When you were opening up your presents or stuffing the turkey or setting the table for Christmas dinner, the birds of the beach were very busy celebrating in their own way. Luckily for us, Murray went straight to the shore line when he arrived from NYC for Christmas dinner in Ocean Grove.

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.

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!
And then I looked up to the sky

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.
