#TBT GS to Lake Placid
Three years ago, this month.
Storm King 2017
I see this place a little bit differently every time I visit. Even though I was having major allergies the entire day, I had good company and amazing weather. Always worth the trip.
Favorite Spring Party
I literally look forward to the Burton spring party every year. This year my peeps at the Good Life tapped me to get some artsy photos of the event. I was bummed that B could not attend this iteration. It is one of her favorites too. Check the full set over here.
Memorial Day Weekend
Meant to post this crap already. Anyway, here are some more snaps of Gpoint. Not hating it here.
New Hood, New Good
We got all domestic recently and moved to Brooklyn. It is a massive adjustment for me. But, I’m surviving. Life is mostly better over here in every aspect, except when I have to leave Brooklyn. Unfortunately, that is every day. I’m definitely feeling the pain of the Robert Moses legacy. Anyway, here are a couple of random shots of from the weekend when I wasn’t dodging rain.

Feast your ears-
Blossoms
Had Good Friday off and went for another ride. Weather was still a bit brisk. But the blossoms were out.
Spring?
It’s still a little chilly to feel like proper spring weather. But that didn’t stop us from from dusting off the bikes and pedaling up the West side. Hoping to be doing much more of this soon. Here is a little photo triptych from the ride.
The Fearless Girl
This week for the first time, I was able to get a couple of snaps of the “The Fearless Girl” by Kristen Visbal. The installation is literally only a couple of blocks from my home, but every time I have stopped by, it had been completely mobbed with tourists. Tuesday’s snow storm provided a nice break in the usual flow of visitors and I was able to get a couple of images. Initially the installation was only supposed to be there for a week. The permit was subsequently extended to a month. Now Public Advocate Letitia James is lobbying to make the installation permanent.
Like everything these days, there is controversy surrounding the piece. I have to admit that when I initially read about it on the morning of International Women’s Day, I was a little bit dismayed to see who had sponsored it, and they had chosen to include their name on the plaque. I thought it was a pretty low brow PR move. Anyway, after seeing the reaction that the piece itself has garnered, as well as the dialogue that it has inspired, I relate to both sides of the argument. At the end of the day, it is a nice piece of art, and symbolizes a very important issue. A few more snaps below–
