Fall Foliage Fotos Series #9 As I like It

The first pic (from a block people some have argued is the ugliest in Prospect Heights) is energized by the ricocheting action between colors, values and gradations

This second pic is from the Clinton Hill Brooklyn Flea (happening today) and a reminder of warmer slightly warmer days
Fall Foliage 111608

so freakin' cold today and recently.
I've felt colder,
but I agree. It's better to be feeling
than the non-feeling nothing at all.
(unintentional bard nod)
though that judgment can only be made after you've held feelings
So while it's cold out at least I haven't been left numb.


stay warm

Photo Wednesday 11/19/08 & Fall Foliage Series #05

Colors of Fall B'klyn 2008

The photo comes from inside the small but attractive campus of St. Josephs College which is in Clinton Hill. I doubt many people outside students and workers ever see this space, it's nestled between the campus buildings.

I present this secret gem this Photo Wednesday to tell a short story of my grandmother, a feisty lady, who back in the 70's was no different. Over 50 back then, she deciding to start a whole new career and become a teacher to help ends meet. She felt she had to enroll in college, since that would guarantee better pay and assignments. It wasn't easy, she worked while enrolled and eventually she achieved both a Bachelor's and Master's degree.

I was taking Fall pictures when I passed by and remembered my grandmother's graduation was held there.

Fall Foliage Fotos Series #4

A shot from Victorian Flatbush as the home mongers call it, I still think of the area as Kensington. If you disagree with that assessment, prove me wrong.

Besides this being one of the few Brooklyn neighborhoods that seems to have a ban on yard fences (for which I'm grateful) it's also a sequestered land of large classically built homes, I know they're "Victorian" but they make me think fondly of plantations, which I generally never do, and are frequently used by savvy location scouts as exteriors for TV shows.

Fall Foliage Fotos Series #1

Ah fall Photo Wednesday again,
I'm going to lay back and let the pictures do the talking, this one from Fort Greene Park in Ft. Greene B'klyn (of course)
B'klyn Autumn

I could look at fall foliage for days and take pictures of it for days more.
Since that's basically all I do these days, (curse you economic crisis) I'm going to be posting Fall Foliage pics at least every two days for the next two weeks.

kick some leaves and enjoy.
