Enough

Yes, the snow is beautiful. The change of seasons can connect us to our natural surroundings and winter can have a peaceful stillness. AND, after some 62 inches of Long Island snow, I am more than ready to bid adieu to the winter of '09-'10. Indeed, it's time to hurry Spring along by heading south!

Easily Entertained

From the "Proud Grandpa Collection"...Oliver discovers the spinning desk chair!

Qausi Moto's View

Some guy, all bent over, kept saying.."I come to ring the bell..."

This fisheye shot looks best in the large view.

Street View

St. John The Divine and the Peace Fountain as seen from Amsterdam Ave.

Shadows Of The Cathedral

Photography is always "all about the light".

All About The Light

Afternoon stained glass light fills the interior of St. John The Divine. Ever changing and moving the light makes for a very impressive and beautiful display.

Offerings

I like to think that each candle sends it's own message of faith, forgiveness, hope or gratitude. There is always a sense of reverence and peace surrounding church candles.

Morningside Heights

Fisheye view of The Cathedral Of St. John The Divine, our weekend photo safari destination.

Welcome Visitor

Must be a play date with the grandparents!

New Toys

The fun is always at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Oliver's journey of discovery continues!

Westbound

LIRR making another run to the City.....

Showtime

At 950 feet in length and with 1,918 passengers the MS Noordam creates quite a stir during an infrequent visit to Kralendijk. It's almost humorous to watch the frenzied change of pace when a cruise ship appears. Taxis and vans that are non-existent at other times seemingly appear out of no where. Vacant beaches are suddenly filled with neon life jacketed snorkelers and craft filled kiosks crowd the town square. By 5pm the ship's horns have blasted and the circus- like atmosphere (until next week) is just a memory.

Late Afternoon

Slave Huts are historic reminders of Bonaire's colonial past.

Impressive Surf

Not my shot but rather a shot of me taking a shot. :-) The power of Bonaire's windward surf is in perspective here!

Happy Valentine's Day

How deep is your love?....with the right person love is a joyful adventure! (and I am one very lucky guy!)

High Fashion

Downtown Kralendijk and the shopping is cutting edge. Plenty of stock on hand, I would imagine!

The Pool

Always ready and waiting, and always just outside our room!

The View

Our recent trip to Bonaire is a very fond memory this morning. The Northeast is yet again in the midst of a major snow storm, indeed a very different view out my window at this latitude.

Visitors

Bonaire has seen an increase in "day trippers" as more and more cruise ships seek out "new" ports of call.
