the way home

Tsia and I were at the studio last Saturday afternoon doing a little painting and finishing a project or two, and on the way back home she wanted the camera (and not the little one--my big black Nikon which is a big as her head). So here is our little documentary of the trip home. Her photos, my annotations:

We walk past a high school on our way to the subway, which is funny to me because on Saturday mornings we can watch the football or baseball team practice. This must be the only place in New York to see such a thing, so it makes me feel like I'm back in the midwest.


There are no garbage cans near the high school. Which reminds me that I want to call the city about that. I love that a call to 311 gets us city services of all sorts!



Almost to the subway.

It looks like we're on a really steep incline here. We're not, but I think the angle is rather amusing as a result.

The train conductor held the trains for us, and then a nice man gave us his seat. I love Brooklyn!

Busy train. Saturday evening and everyone is going into the city. Tsia got some very amused looks with her SLR camera in hand.

On the walk home. What is that unusal coat up ahead?

Those are buttons! At first I thought maybe she was one of the pearly kings and queens, but they aren't pearl buttons.

Tsia was excited because we saw two cone-headed dogs on our way home. This event led to much commentary by the photographer.

Nearly there.

Here's our building.

When we want to tease Todd, we call him from our video intercom. This is good for lots of amusing tricks, like when Bear rings the intercom by himself.

Which floor?

And here we are. Hurray! Dinner is almost ready!
