Red and Yellow and Bicycles

Ha-Ha Fresh on 9th Avenue in the early morning. 

Much better to have a bike than a car in the city.

A street fair on Saturday afternoon on 8th Avenue......

with lots of food and the requisite bicycle.

One of the good things about street fairs is that you can hang around in the 

middle of the road where you would not usually be and look straight up the avenue.

For some reason this is a very red, yellow and green post.

Firetruck

On 24th Street I came upon a lovely scene.
The firetruck was parked and a little boy, his mother, and his sister, had all stopped to look.
The fighter was very cheerful and friendly.
But the little boy was shy.
His mother showed the firefighter the little boy's t-shirt - a firetruck
The little boy's shoes - flashing lights - like a firetruck.
On the side of this fire truck
- and all the other firetrucks in New York -are painted the names of the members of this engine company who were killed on September 11th.
Even after six years, seeing the names makes me cry.
