The Weekend Roundup, 'E'

It's still the weekend so here are my views for Tom's always fun meme The Weekend Roundup. And away we go!

Starts with 'E' this week starts with the iconic Eiffel Tower in Paris. This was captured through a bus window by our daughter on a school trip.

This was my second wheelchair van, a Ford E-150. This pic was taken recently after I took delivery in 1998. Cameron is impressed...

Here is on the Whitestone Bridge crossing the East River between Bronx and Queens in New York City.

Even. The kids had what we called a Red Rider rocker. Neither up nor down, they are on an even keel.

Favorite. Yesterday, Patti captured these geese walking in the pouring rain by Ansonia Public Works. Waterfowl and rain seem a perfect match!

The Weekend Roundup "B"

I am back to a new favorite photo meme, The Weekend Roundup, hosted by Tom. The letter 'B' figures prominently as his fractured hip is healing nicely and we brought him back to his domicile in the NYC borough of Kings, ie: Brooklyn with which we begin...

One way to get to his apartment from our CT home is I-278, including the parking lot known as the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway (BQE). Alas, it is still the most direct way :)

Here I am double parked by his apartment as he and his sister brought his belongings. This is on 19th Street in the Ditmas Park section of Brooklyn, adjacent to the better known neighborhoods of Flatbush and Prospect Park. Double parking and not getting a ticket is an art around here!

Of course, there are Bridges in the city and here are two, the 1883 Brooklyn Bridge taken from the BQE (note the old cast iron guardrail). The other is the beautiful 1940 Bronx-Whitestone Bridge, both crossing the East River. Engineering and art at their finest...

New Beginning. To the left is our Son Cam, to the right our daughter Allegra, both pics their first day at home. They were very new! 

Week's Favorite. I was driving and Allegra took this pic as we were taking our now healed son back home to Brooklyn. We are happy that his fractured hip is healing and he can get back to the city and his friends. Here is the Bronx approach to the RFK/Triboro Bridge to Queens and then to Brooklyn
