Flowering Tree of Queens Blvd
Thursday, April 17th, 2008 | Photography, Positivity, Seasonal | 2 Comments
Here is a photo I took with my Blackberry of a tree that was in full bloom as I walked home from the Forest Hills JetBlue office.
Even though they are pretty, I know behind all those colorful petals and blooms, they are the cause of my sickness. *shakes fists* damn them.
Tomorrow Vanessa will have to walk me to work so I can show her this flowering tree. The one right next to it is much prettier. However, it was not wanting to be photogenic. But trust me, it was cooler. ;)
Impressive Arch - Wandering in Forest Hills
Sunday, April 6th, 2008 | Photography, Writing | No Comments
Justin and I spent the afternoon wandering around Forest Hills. Today I woke up and wrote a bit on the novel Val! and I are co-authoring. She’s much more motivated about it than I am. I’ve only written on it twice and, in total, it is probably 5 pages long. Val’s effort and output is at least 4 times that of my own.
I trace my fingers along the top-most ledge of Sacre Couer’s grand entry – what a spectacular view of Paris. The seedy underbelly begins at the base below. The hostels, hookers, ‘red light district.’ Beyond, there is a mosque, there stands the Eiffel Tour, so proud now so many years after its birth into a society that completely detested it.
Justin woke up and we just sort of hung around. I read a bit in the book Val! lent me: Time Traveler’s Wife which I am quite enjoying. We headed to Garcia’s for some Mexican food and both left feeling miserably full. We then wandered around a bit trying to locate “something odd” that a new flickr friend of mine told me about. I think I found it! If I am correct about this oddity, it is the arch in this photo. It definitely looks a bit out of place between these two drab apartment buildings in Queens. I wonder why it’s there and what it represents…
After shooting up a storm, Justin and I decided it was time to do a little shopping. I purchased a pair of blue jeans and a pair of slacks and. as shopping generally bums me out, it was good that we went for massages immediately afterwards, and bubble tea directly after that. La sigh!
Our last stop was Bath and Body Works, which really lightened my mood. I love spending time in that store, smelling all the new smells and checking out their products and marketing. They might try harder than practically any brand out there to constantly come up with new products and ideas!
I hope you’re all having a great weekend!
