Morning Walk #131 - A Cold One



35 degrees (feels like 26) and 47% humidity

Daylight Savings time is done. It's lighter in the morning...for now.

And after some 70 degree days...it's back to season appropriate weather.

The sun burns my retinas in my eastward walk.

Where is everybody? I know they still have to go to work regardless of temperature.

Construction workers bundled up in layers for the day.

A little girl tells her father that she can see through her teeth. (I've heard of those eye teeth.)

A man stops in the park to tell me about keeping warm in his room...at least, I think that's what he was saying.

A woman with pink hair and a leaf blower keeps the leaves moving.

Beauty and the Beast




This 1847 façade is all that remains of St Ann's Church. The remaining structure was lost in order to make way for the 26 floor NYU dormitory behind it.

Morning Walk #130 - Drizzly November

I turn the corner and there's this sign calling me a Ho!


69 degrees & 72% humidity

Off and on rain

Farewell October. Hello November (even though it's supposed to hit 75 today.)

It seems that many stores worked late last night taking down Halloween decorations and putting up Christmas decorations.

I saw Cinderella returning home from a long Halloween night. His blue princess dress was dragging on the wet pavement and there were a few catcalls as he passed.

Not too many observations from under my umbrella this morning.
