A blog about New York City, my books, and my cats. Mostly.
I can’t get it to focus properly. More pictures of the earrings from Nora! The one on the left doesn’t capture the color of the stone, but I do think it manages to convey a little bit of the mystery. The one on the right does gets the color mostly. I love that one blue stone among all the red.
I’m planning a trip to the Library of Congress for next week, before our GOVERNMENT SHUTS DOWN, but I need my camera and I don’t know if I’ll be able to get it fixed in time.
Thanks to babergcat, aka Betsy, I’ve lost most of my morning looking at a mother eagle feeding her babies. You can say goodbye to getting any work done here.
Ohmygod. Every once in a while the readers of this blog send me very nice things in the mail, Citizen Reader sent me a great big box of homemade Christmas cookies and other treats last December! So Nora was visiting here from Canada and we were supposed to meet for lunch, and she CANCELS on me (she was sick) and a few days later—PRESENTS!!
She made three pairs of earrings for me!! I love them all!! Here is the pair I put on first. The stone is labradorite she says, and this is my new favorite stone. It’s a different color at every angle, very sparkly, and it looks like there’s stardust inside. I’ll photograph the others when I’m cleaned up. (I literally rolled out of bed and took this.)
I need to shoot a close-up of these so you can really see the stone. THANK YOU, NORA!!
Do I really want to turn around to see what he’s looking at?? (It was invisible, whatever it was.) I need a good, escapist, curl up on the couch book. That’s what I feel like doing at the moment.
Or tv shoot! Who knows. I didn’t write it down and I’ve already forgotten what was shooting here. I just took a picture of this trailer parked on Bleecker Street because it was one of the biggest and fanciest I’ve ever seen.
When I was in my twenties and I passed by movie sets I’d fantasize that someone would come running over and say something like, “Please stop! You have just the look we need! Would you please be in our movie?” And so I’d be discovered.
