Heading towards Easter.....
so candy on the dining table
and an Easter lily (from Home Depot!)
An Easter bonnet and retro yellow gloves (which look a lot like dishwashing gloves to me!)
More retro and recycling. The roses I bought at the greenmarket three weeks ago now dried up...
and put in a sandwich bag
and given to Laura. I so rarely get anyone willing to have their photo taken.
The new M23 bus with St.Vincent de Paul reflected in the window.
Pavement art
and the trees just coming into leaf on 23rd Street.
ps. Just went to see Salmon Fishing in the Yemen --simply to see the scenery--which was more interesting than the story. So started thinking of other movies set in sandy places ie The English Patient and Lawrence of Arabia.
One of the joys of going to the movies is visiting places one rarely goes to. For example, I haven't been to Las Vegas since 1977, though lots of movies are set there like the excellent, but odd, Fear and Loathing. Classic casino movies are another subgroup.
And then there are Jane Austen movies.....
Looks like dishwashing gloves to me too. That candy looks delicious!!!
ReplyDeleteyes
ReplyDeleteclearly
we all agree
-----> they
do look a lot like
dish*washing gloves
maybe she was tidying up
right before
the Easter hat parade
and just
went for it...
{{ UR in NYC,
after all
where Fashion is Cutting Edge...}}
Ohhhh Easter candy! I couldn't set that out, I'd walk by and eat them all day till they were gone : ) That hat reminds me of "Easter Parade" I've got to look for my copy and watch it, maybe this afternoon, Love that movie!
ReplyDeleteWill you be watching the Easter Parade this year I wonder, they do it in style in NY don't they?
ReplyDeleteThe roses look pretty still.
I want that bonnet!
ReplyDeleteI have a very similar bus photo reflection pic - taken in Glasgow during Brad Pitt's movie filming days here last year. I never did complete my blogs about those days. Your photograph may have prompted me into doing so at some point.
ReplyDeleteThe roses are lovely - fresh or dried and look really nicely packaged in their sandwich bag. I am not quite sure what to make of the window dressing. Seems anything can be passed off as fashion these days - particularly the "Marigolds"! And what about the hat.....?
Those definitely look like dishwashing gloves. I wonder if they smell like them too...
ReplyDeleteYour view of new York,to me is wonderful.....probably more than your enjoyment of a little welsh village's photos and stories x
ReplyDeletei agree about the yellow gloves. Love the sidewalk art.
ReplyDeleteWhat an Easter bonnet styled with what looks like playtex gloves, too much fun! Yes to movies that take us to faraway places and yes yes yes to Jane Austen movies...and her books!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pics, the last one is my favourite.
ReplyDeleteyour pictures quite literally make my heart leap....am transported to somewhere I don't get to see anymore....go see Once Upon A Time In Anatolia.....visually stunning and in every other way....happy easter!!
ReplyDeleteYour views of New York are so compelling, Elizabeth. Thanks.
