First up is – Zoo Views: Animals in Autumn – Saturday, October 22 from 8:30 to 10:30. Click here and sign up. It will be fun. Hope to see you there.

Without any planning we headed downtown to One World Trade Center to see the sensational views from One World Observatory. The views of the City did not disappoint. There were no crowds, no lines – just the City as far as the eye could see. It is fun to try to spy familiar landmarks from such a height. It was a heady experience followed by a visit to the beautiful remembrance space at the 9/11 Memorial at ground level. I recommend this to all.

Still no sign of snow in NYC this winter but the temperate animals are loving the chilly air and blue skies. Next Sunday is our Breakfast with the Birds Photo class and there are a few spots left. Some of these amazingly beautiful birds featured today can be seen in our tropical rain forest where the class is held. Sign up here.

I admit to not being useful in a kitchen and to being a very picky eater but I do enjoy going to the Union Square Greenmarket to photograph their seasonal offerings. The colors, shapes and smells are a feast for both the palate and the palette. Enjoy my Octoberfeast!

Frida Kahlo – Art – Garden – Life at the NY Botanic Garden has been a blockbuster show with over 750,000 people attending over the past few months. We went early on a beautiful sunny day and had the place almost to ourselves. The Haupt Conservatory has been re-imagined as Casa Azul, the home she shared with Diego Rivera in Mexico City. The Mertz Library features 14 original works (no photography allowed – so we took mental pictures). If you cannot make it to the Garden by November 1st, enjoy today’s montage.

The Central Park Zoo has been my home base for the past 25 years. I never tire of the collection of beautiful animals, the landscape, the NYC backdrop, or the variety of visitors, happy faces and delighted children. Today’s montage features just a small sampling of the collection. Imagine if you will, some of these animals surrounded by carved pumpkins, filled with fun enrichment, during my Fall photo workshop on October 25th from 8:30 to 10:30. To register for the fun, sign up here.

I haven’t been to the Bronx Zoo since May of 2014 and figured I was due for a visit. We planned a weekday jaunt while school was in session and enjoyed the zoo almost to ourselves. It is nice to watch adorable baby gorillas, a baby otter, baby Wolf’s guenon and a baby titi without the sounds of screaming children (nothing against kids – but sometimes they are very loud). Take a day (wear good walking shoes) and visit this wonderful collection of animals.
For all of the camera enthusiasts out there, I’ll be running a Fall Photo Workshop at the Central Park Zoo on October 25 from 8:30 to 10:30. I will arrange some special pumpkin and other activities so you can get great, up-close animal shots – all before the zoo opens to the public. Here is a link to last year’s photos from the same event. To register for the fun sign up here.

Speaking of cameras, the Central Park Zoo’s Education Programs for fall and winter is now available on the zoo’s website. Two photo workshops are being offered. Check them out here under ‘adult programs.‘ Hope to see you there.

It has been almost three months since I dedicated a Sunday montage to my home base, the Central Park Zoo. Mea culpa…it’s good to be home. Come visit!
