Ed. Note: I just found out from Bobbie of ALMOST THERE that one of our fellow bloggers, TEHRAN24, is missing in Tehran. He had been covering the protest in his city, when the Iranian authorities blocked his blog on June 17.
Today, June 28, 2009, has been designated a day to post in support of this missing blogger and the people of Iran. So, this is my post of support — for human rights, peace and justice. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone.
You can find informative posts on OEIRAS AND ENVIRONS DAILY PHOTO and THE PAGAN SPHINX.
Below is work of the missing blogger:
In the Morning

Early this morning, this sparrow stopped to look at me and my dog. So, I stopped to take his photo. I got lucky when he didn’t immediately fly away. Yes! I think it’s going to be a good day.
Have a good Saturday, all.

The Paley Center for Media
June 24, 2009 | Filed Under Museums/Galleries | 7 Comments
When some friends from Belgium visited New York City, I met them at The Paley Center for Media. Up until then, I was not familiar with this museum.
The Paley Center for Media is formerly known as the Museum of Television and Radio. It carries a large collection of radio and T.V. broadcast programs — over 100,000 T.V. shows, commercials and radio programs.
There are two branches, one in New York and the other in Los Angeles, where a visitor may view a T.V. show, listen to a radio excerpt or attend a seminar.
Cameras are not allowed inside the museum but I was able to get a photo of the lobby.
One of the windows outside The Paley Center with two T.V. screens — one showing Nixon and the other showing comedian and ventriloquist, Shari Lewis.

A Rose is a Rose…
June 24, 2009 | Filed Under Flowers, Nature in NYC, Queen of Denmark | 19 Comments
… is a rose.
That being said, does anyone know what type of rose this is? LOL!
Ilva of Lucullian Delights posted a photo of a beautiful rose, which she called Queen of Denmark. It reminded me of the photo of this rose, which I’d taken sometime ago, I’m curious to know whether the rose here is similar to Ilva’s.
So what’s the name of this rose? Is it a Queen of Denmark rose? Anyone know?

21 Club
June 22, 2009 | Filed Under Restaurants | 11 Comments
This is the outside of the 21 Club, a famous Prohibition-era speakeasy. It’s located at 21 West 52nd Street, near Fifth Avenue. Today it’s a fine-dining restaurant that’s open to everyone.
The jockeys that decorate the outside of the club are one of its most famous features. For over 75 years, 21 has served New Yorkers and visitors. It has appeared in more movies and T.V. shows than any other restaurant in the U. S. Some movies and shows include The Sweet Smell of Success, Wall Street, Sex in the City, The Apprentice, I Love Lucy, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, One Fine Day.
You can read more about this historical establishment here.

Ed. Note: In the comments section, Bobbie wondered about the number of jockeys. There are a total of 35 (33 jockeys outside and 2 inside).
Rich patrons donated the statues to the club in the 1930s.
