More sights from the city

I can’t get over how much I enjoyed my trip last weekend. It wasn’t just the meeting of new friends.

It was different. So very different than what I’m used to. And you know what else? It was really beautiful, too. And there always seems to be something happening.

The firemen are friendly, too. This reminds me: Rescue Me is on tonight! I love that show.

There was so much to look at. Do you see that rooftop apartment there in the center? Isn’t that cool-looking?

And then there was this. I took this in Prospect Park.

I found this little guy in Gotham Gardens, a florist along Amsterdam Ave. around 79th street. But the cutest thing is below. I mean, even the New Yawk kittens are street smart.

funny pictures of cats with captions

And on that note, I bid you farewell, my friends . . .

All this New York visiting going on (well, you and Pioneer Woman) is making my feet itch. And it has to be more than just the manure I have been wading around in all day (at the cattle yards in case anyone is wondering).

Thanks for the peek. Love your overlay thingy's that you do (tech term thrown in there to show off!)

...I bet seein' you girls walkin' down the New York street reminded one of a scene from Sex In The City... Question is, which one of you would be Samantha? lol... ;o)

...Love what you did with the bird photo Kate, the texture with the color contrast of the bird and the blue background is amazing! And of course the kitten is well, priceless! :o)

...Have a great day and blessings too...

Your fireman shot is so great! To me, they are New York. (since 911)
I always notice the old watertowers in high places when I go to Chicago. Your rooftop water tower is very neat.

Wow! Sounds like you had a blast!

I'm just jumping in here to say that I did not take the cat photo! I got it at icanhazcheeseburger.com. There's a tag at the bottom of the photo.

Thanks all!

PS ~ For some nice photos of the Times Square area, go to Pioneerwoman.com. She's got some good ones up.
