Hustle Bustle

It's crazy time! At least what I call these last two weeks before Christmas. There's just a lot of get up and go involved in it. There's no getting around it. I'm going to be involved. That's for sure, but I'm just going to let it come to me. I'm not rushing into it and hitting it head on. It'll come. I'm sure of that. Walking in Bryant Park a few weeks ago, Elenka grabbed my sleeve and drew my attention to all the yellow here. "The umbrella, the leaves, the sunlight through the trees", she said. I had already spied it, even the color at the feller's foot. Not green and red but festive enough for me today.

  3. That's a good way of putting it. "I'm just going to let it come to me."

  5. A lovely slice-of-life in Bryant Park scene. Great colors but muted by winter's breath. Merry Xmas!

  6. Those yellows just stood out compared to the other hues in the area. We were drawn to it, like the last gasp of autumn before all heck breaks loose.
    I'm not sure the multitudes even noticed it......
    We, from Maine, were visually stimulated at every step.
    It's a wonder we didn't get run over by something.......

  7. Agreed. The autumnal colors of yellow and gold are marvelous at that time of year.

  9. You can hustle and bustle in NYC til you fall over. Back in Portland and St. Louis it's easier to be calm. I do all (and I mean all) of my shopping online anyway.

  10. Wow, only two weeks before Christmas? It always creeps up on me. Missed it completely one year and my wife never let me forget that. Time to go shopping,

    I like reflections as they often distort reality in interesting ways, like the wavy lines on the water's surface. Thanks for your comment.

  11. I like your way of looking at things Birdman, I think I'll just 'let it all come to me' also and when everyone screams at me C'MON!! I'll just say 'but a wise man said.....!' haha!
