Manhattan Bridge, originally uploaded by Ms. Baboo.

This is the Manhattan Bridge. I really like how I can see the bridge on both sides as well as in front of me. It makes me like I am being towered over. I tend to favor wide angle pictures, and I would love to have an ultrawide lens one day.

More interesting graffiti in Brooklyn. I wonder how they even got up there to paint it.

March 10, 2010-Day 69

I shot these at Union Square today.  

 

 

Also, one of my pictures has been added to a gallery on Flickr.   It is the picture of the plane from February 26, 2010. (I am so easily excited by any sort of photography-related compliment.) You can see the gallery here.

March 9, 2010-Day 68

It was a beautiful day today, so I took a walk over by the downtown heliport.





And this seagull was posing for me.

Confucius, originally uploaded by Ms. Baboo.

I know that this is a little blurry, but it is literally the only picture I took yesterday, and I was in a moving car.

Here are some photos that I took in Staten Island.

March 6, 2010-Day 65

I took this at a baby shower for a good friend.

I feel like I'm running out of things to photograph in my house.

I call this cat "Stripes." He is a stray cat that lives on my street. Don't feel bad for him. Look at what a chubby little kitty he is. He is obviously not starving.

In honor of Mets tickets finally going on sale.

I don't know why there is a shadow behind Mr. Met. I bounced my flash off of the ceiling to try to avoid a shadow, but it didn't work. I have to practice that more.

Back to the hustle and bustle of NYC. They are interviewing the fire chief after the criminal court building was evacuated due to smoke.

Took this while we drove through the mountains on our way back to Charlotte.

February 28, 2010-Day 59

We then drove up to Asheville, North Carolina the day after the wedding.  Asheville looked like a cute little artsy town, but, unfortunately, many of the stores seemed to be closed in both Sunday evening and Monday morning.  It was too bad because many of them had cute things on the windows.  Oh well.

While we were in Asheville, we did visit the Biltmore Estate.  It was beautiful.  They did not allow any cameras inside the residence, but here are some photos from the estate:

While in South Carolina, we drove through some farm country.

February 26, 2010-Day 57

I'm way behind on my blog again because I went out of town for the wedding of one of my best friends.  She was getting married on Saturday in Inman, South Carolina, but a giant snow storm hit NYC Thursday.  I was really worried that we would miss the wedding because of the weather. This is what it looked like when we got to the airport on Friday morning:



Jet Blue rocks, though, and we managed to fly out. Fortunately, the weather in North & South Carolina was beautiful, in comparison.  This is what it looked like in Charlotte when we landed:

More snow.

Hugging Tree, originally uploaded by Ms. Baboo.

I like this tree because it kind of looks like two trees hugging. I don't like how the picture is blown out on the right side. Oh well.

Boots, originally uploaded by Ms. Baboo.

It was a rainy, gray day. This woman's red rain boots really stood out on the subway.

Jeremy's Ale House, originally uploaded by Ms. Baboo.

I stopped by Jeremy's Ale House last night for a drink with some friends. It is kind of a "Hogs and Hefers" want-to-be kind of place, without the bikers or bartenders dancing on the bar. It is actually pretty quiet on most nights, even though they serve beer by the quart.

I know this picture violates the rule of thirds, but I love it.  If you can't tell, this is a tiny, private cemetery in the middle of nowhere.  Check out the larger size on Flickr.




I think the black and white adds to the creepiness of the pictures, but I like the original color picture too.
