Blue




It has been a remarkably dry fall.


The skies are mostly blue and clear - all the better for plane spotting. Yesterday afternoon on 15th St.


and the other day in the early evening when the sun's rays hit the plane's belly.


Some pretty evening skies


and such clear day ones.


 This was taken this morning



and this one on Long Island on Monday - a pin oak with lots of leaves left.



The silver birches near our apartment are at that interim stages of only a few leaves.


Brooklyn on Saturday


and the ferry back to Manhattan.

Now a few random blue pics...


Poster person on 22nd Street


an egg plant on white paper that managed to seem blue by contrast


and some berries that are more blackish than blue-ish but I rather like them.



On a quite different note, my friend Frances' etsy shop FoakleyArts is up and running. She is the most astounding knitter and her hats and scarves are works of art in themselves -quite breathtaking in their complexity.

  1. certainly looks clear and blue. sorry (😉) to hear about your dry autumn, we could send some of this rain your way. though, i think i'm glad it's been just rain, not snow. we'd be buried by now.

    stay safe, belly rub for king B!

  6. I guess the dryness has been washed out now with a mighty wave of slushiness. I love your friend's Etsy shop! Superb knittables. I have one too if you want to take a peek. I do pet portraits mostly https://www.etsy.com/shop/StudioEmmaKaufmann
