New
York City 2004
Anyone
who knows me knows that I have a thing for bronze statues. This one in
the interior garden of The Met was exquisite! It is entitled "The
Vine" and was rendered by Harriet Whitney Frishmuth in 1923. You
can click on the small photo to see a larger one.

This
was once part of a rosary bead set and I hate that my camera didn’t
capture all the minute interior detail. It was truly beautiful. You can

How
are fat girls and a moped alike? Both are fun to ride, just don’t
let your friends catch you doing either. Cops on mopeds… I laughed
and laughed. The officers were nice guys, but I can’t help wondering
who they pissed off to pull moped duty.
