A tree grows in Long Island City

Every picture has a story!

This photo was taken the morning of January 1, 2010.

Breathing in the cool morning air,

I leaned out the 4th story bedroom window.

A few snow flakes had started falling, my lens caught

one and you can see the small smear in the center

of the branches. These little imperfections

make each photo and story unique.

Visiting our son Nathan, Charlie and Rosa

we had flown into NYC on New Years Eve.

After enjoying some lovely

fondue prepared by the chef (Nathan)

and drinking some bubbly

we rang in the NEW Year!

It was a fantastic Trip...

The title a Tree grows in Long Island City

of course, comes from the memory of the

tree in "A Tree Grows In Brooklyn"

When I was a girl my sister read the famed book aloud

and I reread it twice as an adult.

It's in my top ten list of favorite books.
