Empire State Building (woman pretends it’s cold)

And I’m pretending the light is good for taking photos. The last few weeks have been rough, more clouds than sun.

Autumn in New York

…Where the firetrucks have holiday wreaths and it’s so warm that people walk around in shirtsleeves or just a light sweater in December.

If you think this is cold

The thermometer hasn’t been below freezing yet, I hate to tell all of you delicate flowers. If you are like this now, you will be an icicle in a few weeks.

Visitors take it in

They are happy; on their own little island upon the larger island, observing and strolling.

Somber shoppers

Is it buyer’s remorse? Or are they taking a break before the next round of shopping? (Lighting courtesy of nearby hot dog vendor.)

You’re being watched

This was a couple days ago; less than a week in fact. My recent pictures have been rainy and repetitive, dreary and in need of some sunshine.

Last days of warm weather

That’s it, folks, yesterday and today were in the 70′s, nice and warm, but they are saying we may not see those temperatures again for a few months. (They = weather experts and other learned people.)

Bun akimbo

Early days of fall; one of the best times to be in NYC, even having a walk in midtown.

Six on foot

Six people, getting from this place to that place. Only one is on a mobile device, which seems less than one might expect.

Inside Duane’s (practicing for cold weather)

Duane Reade drug store is so busy rearranging merchandise the employees don’t bother with a shopper taking pictures of the street. I’m making a list of places to go when winter comes.
