The View from Casa Lobo November 3, 2012

It was a very rough week for those who suffered through Hurricane Sandy.  I am only now beginning to see the devastation on TV after emerging from four days without power at Casa Lobo.  The above photo of Benny and me was taken by our doorman before the more difficult days that were to come. Each day got more difficult and I apologize to those that crossed my path as my mood became darker and edgier – and I lost my sense of humor somewhere along the way.  Probably during one of those wretched climbs up 11 flights of stairs with Benny the dog.  In Benny’s defense – he was a trooper and Madison the cat just continued to do her thing (as cats do).  I took some photos along the way and thought I would share them with you.

Here is a link that depicts some great shots from more daring photographers who roamed the City during this past week. The very popular HighLine suffered as well. Closer to my heart, the he NY Aquarium got hit very hard.  Here is a link for photos and if you are inclined to help there are instructions on the NY Aquarium link.

I hope all of you out there are warm dry and safe from harm.

I interrupt the usual Sunday zoo photos to bring you shots from the US Open where I am enjoying a two week stint.  The action is great, the sun is hot and it is a chance to watch other mammals strut their stuff.  Hope you enjoy this week’s send. Oh, and yes – that is my dog Benny – prominently featured above today’s photo montage.

We are enduring those dog days of August.  It is hot, sticky and while at the zoo you can easily see both the residents and the visitors catching a big yawn every now and then. And yes, that is my dog Benny, caught in the act of yawning too.  If you want to see these images larger, go here.
