In Loving Memory of Bobbie
June 23, 2010 | Filed Under Almost There blog, Bloggers, In Memoriam | 15 Comments
I just received sad news that fellow blogger and friend, Bobbie of Almost There recently passed away.
The blogging world can be a wonderful place to meet and interact with interesting and different people, worldwide. That’s how I met Bobbie. She was a terrific person who’d always leave some of the best comments on my blog and send me very nice emails. I enjoyed meeting Bobbie on her blog and learning that she was a caring and admirable person. For those of you who didn’t know Bobbie, stop by her blog, where her daughter, Kitty, has written a beautiful tribute to her mother.
Rest in peace, dear Bobbie.

Ruby Tuesday: Pepsi-Cola along the river
June 21, 2010 | Filed Under NYC Signs, Photo Blogging Theme Day, Ruby Tuesday | 23 Comments
This sign, built in 1933, used to be on top of a Pepsi bottling plant near the river. When the plant and its surrounding property were sold, the sign was relocated to where it is now — the Queens side of the East river. In the background, you can also see the Silvercup Studio sign. This studio is the largest film and T.V. production facility in New York City. Shows filmed there include The Sopranos, Sex and the City and Gangs of New York.
This photo is my contribution to Ruby Tuesday, the photo blogging theme day to post photos that highlight the color red. Check out other Ruby Tuesday entries on WORK OF THE POET.

Summer Look

Last Autumn, I’d taken a photo of this building stoop with the flowers. There’s a big difference today. I like the summer look here — the beautiful, colorful flowers. I also like the flower containers.
Have a good Monday, a good start of the week, everyone.
