Hi there..here are a selection of flowers for you , from New York City (later) to the flowers I have come across here at home since my touchdown yesterday morning. I am sorry if things are not of a high quality. Operating under difficulties here...jet lag, plus an old desktop computer, since I left the power cord to the laptop in NYC...ha...aren't I clever? I wonder how long it will take in the post. Fortunately I had just enough battery left to transfer most of my photos to my little external hard drive! Whew! First of all a view of the fall leaves, above...it is actually officially winter here, and that is about all the fall colors you will get to see...an occasional Japanese maple or two... the wattle was looking very pretty when I went to church this morning.... some new gum leaves I couldn't resist photographing.... bougainvillea.... and the pretty poinsettias next door...it is winter here now, so they are flowering now, which means they are nowhere to be seen at Chris...

We walked down to the peninsular in the Inwood Hill park last night...and saw a bit of the Shakespeare in the park... The Merchant of Venice....there is a bit of sky there if you look hard enough! I guess this will be the last of my skies from NYC...for a while...until I return...! Maybe next year! A bit misty earlier in the week.... but finer and sunny on Sunday....W86th street.... and Riverside Drive, Upper West Side...... back to Inwood again.... a couple of sunsets were captured down by the peninsular.... and another sunny day to end my stay...before the rain sets in today (Thursday)....

O enter then his gates with praise.... sing to the Lord with cheerful voice.... we are marching, marching, marching ... how the seasons change....here the monument at Riverside, on Sunday above, and below from 3 months ago... the Inwood park 3 months ago... and now in the summer....almost! a series of images, past and present from my 3 months in NYC, watching a 9 month old starting to crawl grow into a 12 month old, just learning to walk. I leave for home in Australia in less than 48 hours...Thank you God, for New York City, for your fun times, your architecture, friendly people, your people of God, and for looking after my precious family here!
