 is
 ali macgraw

i met her
 her person
 and
 her partner
 steve mcqueen
outside
irving coffee
a few saturdays ago

 i am saving steve 
for a separate post

 these two pit bulls
 were a delight to meet

 ali is giving me a wink
 licking her lips
 prior to this shot
 she kissed me

such a flirt

a good cause


usually
 on
 saturdays
 i post photos of dogs
 i meet on the street 
on the upper westside

 but
i am busy getting ready for my trip
 i am going to move my pups to tomorrow
 so
 i can tell 
you
 about 
this 
today

dr andy kaplan
 aka
 kaplan master magician
 is our vet
an incredibly caring man

aside 
from
 toonman
 i dont know a better man

 as to his skills as a magician
 i cant attest
 but
 if i wasnt going to be in paris
 i would want to be
 at 
gotham comedy club
 on 
wednesday may 23rd
 to see for myself

 this event is for an excellent cause
 the toby project 
to learn
how dr kaplan
 has made neutering pets for free
 a priority
 here in nyc

 if 
you
 live in nyc
 or
 will be visiting

 if 
you
 care about
 animals
 i encourage you to attend 

up a tree


i have issues 
with kids
 who climb trees

 trees are alive 
climbing
 grabbing onto limbs
 swinging
 pulling one self up

 it looks great 

but 
i worry
 about the tree

 how many times
 have you seen 
someone
 walking in a park
 grab
 a branch
yank or break it off 

 i wonder
 how those people
 would feel 
if someone 
pulled
 their arm or leg or hair 

 yes
 i am a tree hugger 

wanna make something of it?

water towers


is it safe?
 i wonder

 i dont want to jinx it
 but
 a week from today
 i
will
be
in
 paris

 my friend mary's doctor has given her the okay to travel

 this time 'round
 i dont need to spend days
 thinking about what to pack
 no need to stress
 over which
 coat(s)
 to take 
no heavy coat necessary
 its may

while 
it might rain

 lets face it 
paris 
is not known
 for its 
sunshine

 it wont matter 

i am going to be
 with
good friends
taking
photos
wandering
the streets
flea markets
bridges
seeing the sights
eating
drinking
shopping

woot!


oh yeah
those 
water towers?
they're 
atop
buildings
overlooking
 riverside drive
riverside park
along west 79 street




all those april showers


brought
 all
 these
 may
 flowering trees

 finally
 it was a warmish
 sun filled weekend

 we only took the one walk in the park

 i beautified on sunday
 my sister joined me at polished
 she suggested lunch
 but
 i was 
both
 not hungry 
and
 had
 a hair appointment

another weekend
 we'll
do
both 

saturday in the park with



 a lot
 of 
other 
new yorkers and tourists

 it was a gorgeous
 albeit 
windy
 saturday 
in 
riverside park

took the BIG camera
no idea who those kids were
they just caught my eye
