When I think of New York City I really don't think
about nature and trees. I think of the hustle and bustle of
city streets full of cars and cabs. I think of sky scrapers and of
course lots of shopping. Well much to my surprise there was quite a bit
of nature in this wonderful city. And lots of green. You know how much
I love the color green.
The weather was perfect for us. I still had my jacket on.
Even though most of the locals just had tee-shirts on.
As you can see the leaves had started to fall.
But most of the of the trees in this wonderful city were still nice and green.
I haven't even had time to go through a quarter of my
photos from our trip. Almost 900 photos.. YIKES..
Let me show you what I have made for this
weeks challenge over at
City Crafters Challenge Blog.
It's all about Halloween. And it's just around the corner.
Charlene our hostess this week is having us make a Halloween
card or project. But just not any type of Halloween card or project.
You must have a Pinwheel on your project.
I had fun with this. I had never made a pinwheel before.
And it was much easier than I had thought. Once again I just
headed over to Youtube to find out how.
I just fell in love with this cat image.
I got it from Google photos.
Go figure.
Thanks Charlene for such a fun challenge.
and if you want the details on this challenge you can
hop on over to City Crafters Challenge Blog.
I am still working my way through blogland to visit all of
you. I have missed a lot. I am hoping to get some more blogging in
this afternoon.. Till then Take care my friends.
Hugs~

There's a big smile on my face from your funny Halloween card - love that cat! Your photos are gorgeous too - I must get back in to my photograph - I only ever photograph my cards and dogs!
Hi Linda, I have my new internet :-) The first thing I spied when I arrived at your blog was a sparrow. I once rescued a sparrow baby from a oil tin in a workshop. I took him home and cleaned him up, and hand raised him. I was surely amazed he survived, and over the years we became the best of friends. We named him Harry, and he used to do amazing tricks. When he passed away, the family was heart broken. Thank you for sharing the photo, brought a huge smile... as all your photographs do. Love your card, that cat is soooo cute, and your pinwheel just gorgeous!
That cat image is priceless!!!! Just sooo funny ... love your card Linda
Sounds like such a wonderful trip and such a lovely time of year to visit NYC! Love all the photos you've shared and can't wait to see more. And LOVE your sweet Halloween card, too. That image is adorable. Who would think Google images would have such cute options. Love the layers and stitching, too, and that little pinwheel is fabulous. :)
You are showing us a different side of New York city to be sure. Love that scary Halloween cat! Cute!
