Boundaries
In New York City, construction imposes many boundaries. For more photos of New York City, check out my photo series As Seen in NYC or my city travel post.
April Showers Bring…?
“April showers bring May flowers,” goes the saying, but it took me eighteen years to discover that on my own. See, in Portland, March showers bring April showers which bring May showers. The only difference between winter and spring is the number of daylight hours and a ten degree temperature difference. It’s rainy starting in…
