Is it really October?
30 days hath September,
but they went by so quickly,
that I actually missed my October 1 deadline for this post.
I have the photos to prove that September actually happened,
but it was kind of a blur.
but it was kind of a blur.
Maybe it's because I've been crazy-busy,
with school starting...
working many hours at my new volunteer position...
prepping for the Jewish holidays...
taking a photography class to learn how to use my new camera...
and celebrating my birthday!
It hasn't left me much time for visiting other blogs,
which I feel badly about.
I'm trying to catch up here and there when I can.

OK, let's get to it,
because it will be November before we know it!

Walking by my first apartment building in NYC (the day I ran into my sister)...200 East 82nd Street, Apartment 6F.
Cool fact: Walt Frazier lived there when I did.

About 20 turkeys flew into my backyard. It figures, I had my 200MM lens on my new camera, and couldn't capture them all in one shot.

Remember when I backed out of the garage and rolled over Junior GS' friend's bike? I wouldn't trust me if I was them.
September 22
Mr. Goo Shoes brings home the new car!

This is what I have to put up with when I'm doing a shoot. "Haha, Mom!" When I just showed this picture to Junior GS he said, "I knew that would come in "handy!" Clever boy.
September 29
72nd Street and 2nd Ave in NYC. I have NEVER seen a building decorated for Halloween in all my years in the city. Bravo!
September 30
So this happened just a few days after I bought it. I guess I didn't use enough hair spray on it to keep the squirrels from feasting.
Have a great October!
You make me want to travel no decorate for Fall! What beautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Holly! I appreciate that you stopped by!
DeleteSay it isn't so!! :O My oh my...I can't believe summer is really over. Goodness, every store I walk in has Christmas trees lit up already. Ummm, what happened to Halloween & Thanksgiving?! ..In a way though I'm happy that fall is here..it's one of my favorite seasons.
ReplyDeleteSadie is just a adorable!! :D ...and I got the biggest kick out of Jr's text...haha too funny.
Have a fab weekend Ms. Toody!
xo
Christmas trees in stores already? Bah Humbug! It will be here before we know it. Fall is one of my faves, too, Tammy, and I've finally accepted that summer is over!
DeleteWonderful as usual!! Hairspray, huh? I have squirrels that practically come up and ring my doorbell! Gonna try it!
ReplyDeleteThanks, AnnMarie! The squirrels are especially aggressive this year...worse than ever! I'm using a combo of hairspray and ground red pepper to keep them at bay - but if I don't keep up with it every other day, they start munching!
DeleteI always look forward to your monthly photo diary. You take such great photos!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Debbie, that means a lot to me! I'm taking a photography course now - hope it improves my skills!
DeleteFirst of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! All the very best! Hmm...am I to assume that you were bestowed with a brand new automobile, AND a brilliant new camera, in addition to a Broadway play and a day at the theatah for this big occasion? Do you realize that when you scroll down the page, the image of your first apartment building expands to MEGA macro proportions?!! Okay, Goo Shoes, spill!
ReplyDeleteHappy October!
Poppy
Thanks for the birthday wishes, Poppy! No, the car was not a bday present - our lease was up and so we traded it in. The camera was from my family, and the play from my sister. OOPS about the photo...I must not have changed the dimensions! Gotta fix that!
DeleteThank you, Claire! I can't get enough of the saketinis! It's my drink of the moment. Haha - those turkeys are so ugly, they make me not even want to eat it for Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteThis makes me want to do a photo diary too!
