I never showed you our final photos from the trip we took last week. Brian took so many good ones, it’s a shame to let them sleep like this!

In Philadelphia we found ourselves at a public art/sculpture area. This sort of thing seems to require a very large city. I just love cities (like Chicago) which are full of public art. I may not love the pieces they chose, but I love that the pieces are there.

In Lansing, things like this get so much public ridicule for “wasting money” that they don’t try it very often. Anyway, I loved this art exhibit, it had HUGE dominos and what looked like checkers and chess pawns and other game pieces. Fun fun fun, on a very hot day in the city.

In New York City, when we found ourselves at the garment district, we found this huge sculpture of a button being sewn by hand (no hand, just a handsewing needle). Waaay cool, and easily viewed from across the street. I loved that as well!

Also in NYC, not far from Central Park, we found these children playing in a fountain. Isn’t that the essence of being a kid in the summer?

Brian took a few cityscapes on the trip. First is what I’m sure is Philly… a government building in a roundabout/traffic circle. Darn it all, we saw so many cities that they all are blending together a bit in my mind. Someone can correct me if they know I’m making a mistake here!

Another cityscape is what I believe is Pittsburgh, the sun going down over a bridge. Great shot, Brian!!!

And a sort of art photo, again by Brian. Here I am driving my beloved New Beetle, Joy. Well, here are my hands on the steering wheel, anyway! I really like this photo a lot!

Last is a pic Brian took while holding the camera as far away as he could and clicking. Can you see the horseshoe falls of Niagara in the background?

Don’t we look like newlyweds? My parents went to Niagara when they got a honeymoon… Brian and I will have our 9th wedding anniversary in early October, so it wasn’t a honeymoon but I’m still crazy ’bout that guy! I think this photo looks surreal, almost like someone pasted two photos together. It was one quick click of the camera, folks… I feathered the edges in PhotoShop but did little else to it… no cropping, nothing. Cool, huh?
