The choices for this week’s prompt, “Curves”, were multitudinous, so I succumbed to the urge to share two very different pictures of curves. Enjoy!

Finally!! I’ve been waiting all morning to see what this week’s photo challenge is and although the time wasn’t fleeting, the challenge is. Here’s something else that was fleeting, a chalk drawing our younger daughter and a friend did near the apartment complex where
my husband was living at the time. We loved watching people’s faces when they saw it.

After we disembarked from our train Saturday afternoon in New York’s Penn Station, my sister-in-law and our daughter took off to participate in a Haitian dance class, not something for Bill and me.  Instead, we started our afternoon walking through the Rubin Museum of Art, where Himalayan art is the focus.  As my sister-in-law pointed out, the museum is a small jewel at 150 W. 17th Street.  Take a few minutes and enjoy a few of the art objects that caught my eye and camera.  If you live in the New York area, stop by soon for a visit.  You won’t be disappointed.

There’s something magical about train rides, something that transports me back to the days of my childhood, when we used to take the San Francisco Zephyr from Omaha to California to visit my grandparents. The train station, a vast, cavernous structure, filled with echoes of the life surging inside. I don’t remember, but I imagine it was also beautiful in a way that so few buildings are these days, due to a lethal combination of cost, lack of care in building, and indifference to architectural beauty or, possibly, different ideas of what constitutes that beauty.
