Goodbye Bay Ridge ๐Ÿ‘‹
Coney Island Fireworks {Pictorial}

And my time in Bay Ridge ends like it began–with fireworks on Coney Island. Summer, fireworks and being in love. These are a few of my favorite things. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘


Red, White, Blue and Boom ๐Ÿงจ

Let the red, white and blue festivities start! To begin, a blue spirulina smoothie bowl from SoBol, sans honey. Delicious and easy breakfast option… and they don’t use any frozen fruit. That’s pretty cool! Next up, the creation of some parfaits with vanilla cake, coconut cream and berries. All my Read more…


Summer, Going Off With a Bang

We rolled up into Rochester just in time for the spectacular fireworks shows downtown. Before July flies by too soon, stop and stand and watch its fireworks.


Coney Island Friday Fireworks ๐ŸŽ†

“…the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding Read more…

Such a Beach.. in the Rockaways

Needing a reset, it was a Rockaways run–the best one day vacation destination. City view but far, far away It’s easy to distance yourself on the shore. I also made up a theory that the wind at the shore helps it to be Corona-free… And the shore was filled with Read more…


July 4th in November;
Playing With Fire ๐Ÿ”ฅ Nostalgia

Growing up as a female, I couldn’t help but notice that the males were always the ones lighting off the fireworks. I remember watching as a child as the cool teenage boys lit them off while the girls watched. As I grew older it always seemed to be the responsibility Read more…


Blessed are the Intrepid, Day 2:
In the Sky

I slept soundly in my car on night one. And even though I forgot to bring my pillow from home, I woke up with no aches or cricks anywhere. I quickly packed up my site to head south… I will be heading souther and souther everyday starting this new day. Read more…


Baby You’re A Firework
Coney Island Love

Coney Island is one of my favorite NYC places to take pictures. There’s always a lot of color, always a lot of excitement. It is pure summer. To follow, a collection of Coney Island love notes. Friday fireworks from afar. We watch things explode. We watch people watching things explode. Read more…


That Old Kinda Summer

Summer is timeless yet finite. On this summer night, last night, that could have been 50 years ago or 50 years from now, I tried to capture it in pictures: its feel and potency. Because time and place are the richest variables to play within.


Brooklyn Cyclones ๐ŸŒฑ โšพ
Vegan Night 2019

Vegan food, Coney Island, fireworks and old friends? This is a recipe for summer fun! I am happy to attend year two of Brooklyn Cyclones Vegan Night. Actually their season is bookended with two, that’s right, two Vegan Nights. But with Marty V‘s being in the stadium for the entire Read more…


Explosions in the Sky

It was the last of Coney Island’s Friday Fireworks, the end to a week of spending hours setting up my classroom for Back to School.ย  So I sat with my fellow teacher friend on Brighton Beach to watch the show from afar after we decided we wouldn’t jump in the Read more…


Vegan Night with the Brooklyn Cyclones

How cool that the Brooklyn Cyclonesย would do a vegan night!ย  Well, to be accurate it was Grateful Dead Night, Vegan Night, Cub Scouts Night, so on and so forth. But I appreciated the options… and the buzz of Coney Island in the evening, one of my favorite Brooklyn things. Marty’s Read more…


Summer’s Here

Nothing says “Summer” like Friday fireworks in Coney Island… Hello, Summerย ๐Ÿ˜˜

A birthday this big requires a great cake. So, I will make one.ย  These colors are from the Rockville Centre Farmers Market. Happy Birthday, U.S.A.!

NYC Staycation Road Trip

Dear New York City, I know Iโ€™d sooner drive hundreds of miles to a remote vegan option over state lines than hit your streets sometimes. The unfortunate truth is: youโ€™re not who you used to be to me: escape, inspiration, excitement. Now, you are diluted, castrated even. I resent you Read more…

Peace, rest, relaxation and pedicures involving American flags! It’s Fourth of July, Colorado family-style. Woken up by the dapper feline Kramer, Independence Day started with a deep long meow.
