I spotted this lovely woman today and asked to take her photo. I told her how pretty I thought she looked in all her red. She seemed as though she were flattered and was enjoying the moment (I hope). We didn’t exchange names or any other info but wished each other a good day upon saying goodbye. Such is the treat of living in NYC.

If it weren’t for this post (http://evgrieve.com/2011/05/new-york-city-marble-cemetery-is-open.html) on the blog EVGrieve, I wouldn’t have known New York City Marble Cemetery was having an open house today. The only other time I’d chanced upon its open house was a couple of years ago. The cemetery is located on East 2nd Street between 1st and 2nd Avenues.

I took a walk in and enjoyed the beautiful weather, the mellow atmosphere of the neighbors, and all the happy, playful dogs on scene.

I took a walk over to Washington Square Park to photograph the red-tailed hawks’ nest from below. The nest is located on a 12th floor library window ledge.

It was easy enough to see the nest from the park below but not easy to photograph it well considering the angle and height of the nest. I do hope the nest is safe at its current location. All signs indicate it is. For example, the overhang above the nest is providing shelter from the rain and the nest is tucked tightly against the ledge corner. I just hope a big gust of wind doesn’t move the nest at all.

The eggs should be hatching any day now!
