Go Green!

Well, I am a few days late for Earth Day, but since we all live here, everyday is earth day! In that spirit lets all do our part and "Go Green!". This one is doing double duty; it's a cheer for my favorite color, which has been missing in action for the last few months on the blog, and it's a reminder for us to do all we can to maintain this beauty.

New York

I saw this, one evening as I was walking along 34th Street towards 5th Ave. The namesake of "New York". The Empire State.

Phoenix

This is another shot from the scene below. Another look at the beauty of a magnificent Jamaican sunset. The singular "phoenix", extinguishing itself in a fiery blaze, temporarily bidding adieu, to rise again and usher in another day.

Going Home

Took this one on my way home from the airport in Kingston. I wasn't the only one "going home".

Journey

The journey of life. Which lane are you in?

Embrace Me

From my Mom's birthday bouquet.

Which Way?

Mid-Summer Sunset. Again, through the apartment window.

Depths

Late evening view of the Hudson River and the New Jersey Skyline

Seasons

I noticed this while looking out the apartment's bathroom window.

Freedom

I took a week off from work during my surgery rotation - in March '06 to get away from the daily grind. Don't get me wrong, i loved surgery it was the best rotation i had but i just needed a little break to unwind. I decided to go to Negril for the weekend and on my way there stopped in Black River to check out the Safari tour. It was about an hour ride round trip. Got to see the mangroves, fed crocodiles-i was literally 2 feet away from one, and yes i still have all my limbs. We fished for a few minutes (unfortunately not enough for dinner. lol) and of course spotted lots of birds in their natural habitat.

This particular one and i had a thread of commonality. It was doing a little sightseeing of its own, but more than that it was soaring through the sky, wings fully expanded, enjoying its "freedom" as i was enjoying mine.
