What's Been Going On...





Quite a lot -  since I have been neglecting this blog... anyway


Pope Francis came to New York and made a lot of people very happy.


They lined up for the mass at Madison Square Garden and the line went on for miles and miles. Though I am not a Roman Catholic, I admire Francis' message of love for to the poor and needy and dispossessed. 


More lovely effects of light.



This morning on 24th Street....extra urban.


A truck on 23rd Street...


Hooray -  at last the sunflower I planted outside the building decided to flower in almost-October.


I bought a little white pumpkin at Union Square


and admired dahlias  at the little Saturday market on 23rd Street.

Last Saturday was the flea market behind London Terrace.  Of course I wandered through it even though I don't really like old stuff.


I don't need the singers  - (see the notice over the shoulder of the chap on the left)


or Ms Supercilious either.

    Summer in the city is always a busy and happy time, and the Pope visiting made it even busier, I'm sure. Enjoy autumn!

    Elizabeth, these photos and your words have made me smile.

    You show city busy-ness very well.

    Pope left, international UN politicians on the next plane in. What's next...two Columbus Day (Spanish and then Italian) parades, and not long thereafter...the marathon. Oh...of course, we've also got ballet, theatre, new films and art.

    Apples are also looking good at the farmers market. See you soon. xo

    Great set of photos. Love it that you "don't like old stuff". Not many bloggers would admit to that. Brilliant. :)

      Both my daughter and I get a bit weirded out by flea markets though we enjoy historical places and things -when well cleaned up!
