In the big city! We are having a wonderful time in New York, seeing so much and experiencing some very mild winter weather. But today was special; because not only did we go to the Museum of Art and Design - we went with Jennifer.
I felt lucky that we were able to connect - she came down from Connecticut and together we enjoyed a couple of exhibitions at the gallery and an open studio there as well. It was a great reminder of how wonderful the world of blog is, as however else would we have 'met' and then been able to 'meet'?
We had coffee, we wandered, we chatted, we photographed, we had lunch and then we walked together thru the streets of NYC until our paths took us our separate ways. Just special.
We have seen many sights and heard many sounds and here are just a few of the sightseeing variety...

Fiona you are going to all the right places! Cloisters is VERY special, and the high line is just a marvelous (new/old) site in this magical city... MAD is one of my favourite museums and now I am imagining visiting with you these wonders that only New York offers...
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!!!
sounds like you are having an absolutely wonderful time! you are getting to so many great places - do you know i have always lived within an hour of the city and the cloisters are still on my wish list? so glad you got there...
ReplyDeleteLooks wonderful Fiona, thanks for sharing your holiday photos - enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI musta gone to sleep - I had no idea you were so far away! but given how wet Q is right now - its probably a good time to be far far away!
ReplyDeleteNYC Looks amazing and your (and Barry's) photo's are amazing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a treat to be able to meet up with a blog friend so far away!
Fabulous photos! Wishing you lot of memorable moments while in NY.

ReplyDeleteWhat a trip you are having. Such beautiful beautiful photographs too. How lovely to see NY though your eyes Fiona.
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear you're having such a good time. Wow - enjoy every minute.
ReplyDeleteThe telephone directory necklace intrigues me. I can see you are having a wonderful time and what fun to meet a fellow blogger in person. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteYesterday truly was a special day. Thank you for including me in it!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are having a fine time Fiona!!! You look so happy and relaxed and thank you for introducing me to Jennifer....even as you get to meet up in person, I'm just meeting her virtually....off to follow her great blog!
ReplyDeleteContinue to enjoy every minute and soak it all in...glad the weather is cooperating! Cheers!
It's true what Anna says - you are definitely (and enviably!) hitting all the right spots in the city. MAD is also one of my favorites, and it made me so happy to think of your being able to see some of the treasures there, especially those made of unlikely materials, which you and Barry know and love so well! NYPL...The Cloisters...wonderful places with great memories for me and for any who walk there! Enjoy, enjoy...
ReplyDeleteSOME people! Looks like you are experiencing the best NY has to offer. Don't hurry back, but bring more fabulous photos when you come.
ReplyDeleteHow absolutely wonderful! NYC has an energy like no other place on earth (that I have so far experienced) - one of a kind. Your image of the statue of liberty is incredible! Thank you for sharing.. :)
