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.

Red Day

As I was on 8th Avenue at lunch time, it suddenly came to me that it was a red day,

 which is counter-intuitive since red isn't a very spring color.

Everywhere I looked people were wearing red. By Dallas Barbecue...

.... by the subway.

Even the fire hydrant had a shiny new coat of red paint.

The lone tulip in the pachysandra was red....

as were last fall's berries reluctant to concede the new year's arrival.

An Essay about Nothing with Red Details

Few New Yorkers object to having their photos taken.

I almost always ask first.

23rd Street

A scene on 6th Avenue. The tourists had just had their photo

 taken by the young passerby who was returning the camera.

 They had posed in front of the Bolt Bus.

Ah, the iconic Obama image by Sheperd Fairey has spawned a zillion imitations.

Here one dear to my heart.

A gallery on 23rd Street has a painted floor

 and an almost pink New York Times

How bloggerish to record lunch.

And a carpet at a friend's house.

Not to mention a plate with peas on it that seems to smile.

The tea pot looks quite friendly too.

The Holy Apostles' Garden on 9th Avenue

has fairly infrequently seen red aquilegia.

 

How small the people on the other side of the track look

with the red stripe over their heads.

Chelsea Ecclesiastical

An annunciation from the church door at the seminary.



Afternoon light on the German Church on 22nd Street.


Anyone reading Paz's super New York blog will know we have had several blogging outings in search of photo opportunities.
Not hard in New York.
Here is an interior shot of the church in the General Theological Seminary.



And a brilliant red church door right by the Atlantic Theater.



Dramatic urns outside the church..........



And a glimpse of the garden.........

Color for a Change

This blog was getting rather gray - color and charm lacking.
So a wonderful cake from Dean and Deluca -pity it's no one I know's birthday.



A red wall opposite Pearl Paint off Canal Street.
A splendid day for walking - unseasonably mild with rain showers.
We walked from Canal Street to 23rd. Street.



Jiffy Lube looking cheerful near Chelsea Market.
It smelled of oil.



Rather monochrome flowers in Dean and Deluca.
They would go well with the birthday cake.




Waiting patiently outside a shop on 8th Avenue.
