Valentine's Day, and a break in the wintry weather brought everyone out. Hoshi Coupe's window sported hearts for the occasion, and even the lady in the pocket park was bedecked.

Raining Acorns,
ReplyDeleteJust been to The Morgan Library and to the miniatures. Yes this is the same butterfly, the middle and top left, as you said.
The Catherine of Cleves illuminated manuscripts are really beautiful and it must be a wonderful exhibition to see. I have just read about it. How fortunate for you to see it.
Now, thanks to you, I can share it online. Via
The Magic Carpet.

Hi, Milly: thanks for stopping by--so pleased to hear this is indeed the same butterfly. And for those who are wondering what all this is about, Milly has drawn an exquisite admiral butterfly on her blog (just click on her name & go to Drawings from Nature to see it). And stay tuned to this blog for Monday's post . . . though, meanwhile, I do hope you enjoy the NYC street scenes!
ReplyDeleteMakes me want to be there! Interesting collection of photos - I particularly like the last one.
ReplyDeleteYour pictorial tour down Broadway is a rare treat. Almost as good as being there myself...although not in Winter. I will go back to the post to follow all of the links since I want to learn all of the details and stories about the various sites.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting (and excellent) shots of the city windows…we could use a breath of clever "signage" here on the islands. Back in the 80's we had a sign guy that was quite creative with his art and woodworking. Lot's of great signs then, now mostly KWIK SIGN "kine".
ReplyDeleteGreat photos, a wonderful tour of NYC. Your post makes me want to plan another visit up there soon. There is always something going on or something to see in Manhattan!
ReplyDeleteAs if I haven't been homesick enough these last few weeks! I particularly love the Venerables. I will partake of both Venerables in a mere nine weeks. Hopefully, the wintry weather will have departed for good...for 2010, at least. Thank you for sharing these familiar and comforting images. Will try to get to the Morgan before Catherine of Cleves departs, too.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you all enjoyed these pictures--this was a bit of an experiment, though fun for me to do. Bonnie, may your trip to NYC net not only partaking of the venerables, but also a trip down to Lanciani's current location, for I think I speak for many in saying we will eagerly await a report from you on Vine Ripened on your return!
