Landscapes


Before moving to NYC nearly three years ago, I had never associated the term "landscape" with a city view. 
But, perspectives change as much as the skyline itself, and with it my opinion on what a beautiful landscape can be. 
These were just a couple of my favorites from a weekend full of long walks and wandering. Where are your favorite landscapes? 


Colors in the Sky

I'd like to think that every day deserves a "confetti flying through the air" moment.
And if it doesn't, it should.

Lunar



I spend the majority of winter looking forward to Chinese New Year. Although I have no genetic ties to the lunar holiday, I feel a strong tie to the traditions of family and food that it brings. Not to mention, the magpie side of me gets such a thrill from the colorful pageantry of the parades and celebrations.
It bears a strong resemblance to our American Thanksgiving holiday: parades, feasts, and family abundant. 

These two have the best seats in the house for the parade
