picked up my

back/under is brown/tortoise
next
Super Runners Shop
to buy
new 'sneakers'
not running
not jogging
just inexpensive
'sneakers'
salesman said
I had
a
choice of colors
turned out
they only had
my size
in
one
color
so
I bought a pair of turquoise laces
next up
Zabars
waiting at the prepared food counter
a gentleman
standing next to me
was showing off
the fishing lures
pinned to his cap
he was telling
the counterman
how he makes them
sells them
to women
who wear them as pins
of course
I admired them
he took off his cap
to show them
to me
I said
they're fabulous
he took off one
handed it to me
I said its wonderful
went to hand it back
he said
no, its yours
I thanked him
asking
how much I owed him
he said
its a gift
I thanked him again
saying how very nice it was
how incredibly nice
he smiled
tipped his hat
and
Toonman and I
took a walk
in
Riverside Park
I had been told by Susan,
who reads my blog and lives a little further uptown,
the park took a very hard hit from Sandy
she
did
not
exaggerate
of course
in comparison
to the devastation
that is along the shore of NJ LI and SI
the damage to the park is small
but
to me
it was overwhelming
to see
trees uprooted
trees
the winds
ravaged
the piles
of
sawed limbs
brush
are
everywhere
the squirrels
seem as if
they're confused
their favorite
nesting places
are no more
while taking photos of a downed tree
a man standing nearby
pointed up
look a white tail hawk
a young one
not very large
immediately
I was kicking myself
for
not taking along
the
BIG
lens
when he pointed out
the rat
the hawk
was munching on
I wasnt
so
disappointed
to
only
have
the
18-105 kit lens
you're welcome
