Picture perfect day
Went on a site visit for work with the digital camera today and ended up getting some nice shots (I don't know why the first three look more like postcards than real photos):
And my favorite--the first time I've ever spotted a red-tailed hawk!
If anyone can guess where these photos were taken, bonus points for you. When I was still a lowly intern (which actually wasn't that long ago), I had two internships involving being outdoors and I really enjoyed both of them because they gave me the opportunity to photograph a lot. One of them actually involved taking photos--I was fortunate enough to get an internship involving doing profiles for community gardens so I got to go out to each garden and take photographs. This internship took me to many neighborhoods throughout the city and I loved taking pictures of the gardens. The other internship involved doing survey work for a street tree planting project in Greenpoint-Williamsburg. This was during the summers of '97 and '98, just as gentrification was really beginning to take a hold of these neighborhoods but before all the factories would close and get converted into lofts. I loved it--I took tons of pictures during the course of these two summers and, one of these days, hopefully I'll get to share these photos with you.

Jen,
Those are wonderful photos from Roosevelt Island. I especially like the one of the hawk; as you know, I am a birdwatcher of occasion. Hope to see you soon. What zoom capability does your camera have to get a shot like that?

Thanks Terry! If I traveled more, I would totally be a birdwatcher! I love birds. The camera I used has 6x precision.
