"The very thought of you"...

Thanks to the new law forbidding Inside smoking
You just have to point and shoot...
At the right moment!

Grace a la nouvelle loi interdisant de fumer a l'interieur
Il suffit parfois d'etre la au bon moment...

Suns Caress

It rained all day and it will for the rest of the Weekend...
Summer is long gone,
but one can dream of the sweet and warm caresses of the sun.

Il a plu toute la journee et cela doit continuer tout le Weekend...
L'ete est deja loin,
mais il n'est pas interdit de rever aux douces caresses du soleil.

I wish you a Sunny Weekend inside and out.

Leisure


This Week end was Columbus day.
A time to enjoy the outside,
walking, riding a bike, sailing or just resting in a hammock..

Ce week end etait pour certains un week end de trois jours.
Un temps parfait pour profiter des derniers rayons chauds du soleil.
Que ce soit en marchant,a velo, en bateau ou en lezardant dans le hammac.

Governor's Island.

Brasserie

A totally different concept today..much more intimate!!
I could almost read the lips of this guy:
"I wish those French Restaurant translated their menu...
in simple words"!!!

Cette fois ,le concept est totalement different...dans l'intimité!!
En voyant cet homme tres concentré, je pouvais presque lire ses pensees:
"Si au moins ces restaurants Français pouvaient traduire leur menu..
avec des mots simples"!!!

Since the beginning of the week,
Manhattan sounds like a never ending siren ..
Police cars, diplomatic missions on the move...
It's just Another session of the United nations.
This guy is climbing the stairs of the Metropolitan Museum

Bad habits

There used to be a time, when smoking looked elegant,
Hollywood actresses were role models..
A time when a Lady was not supposed to smoke on the streets...

Il fut un temps ou fumer semblait elegant,
Hollywood nous montrait l'exemple..
Un temps ou une femme ,cigarette a la main dans la rue,n'etait pas bien vu..

Directions...

At the beginning of the week
It's hard to know the direction it will take...

En debut de semaine ,
on ne sait pas toujours dans quelle direction le vent va tourner..
