Rebus

A late afternoon sun was playing with letters, highlighting some..
Just playing with our little Grey cells... rebus or riddle..
However we put it the arrow goes only one way!!

Le soleil de fin d'apres midi s'est amusé avec des mots
Un rebus pour faire travailler les petites cellules grises..
Mais on a beau la tourner dans tous les sens
La fleche est en "sens unique"!!!

Bonne fin de semaine et de mois!!

"The Little Prince"

"Please--tame me!" he said.
"I want to, very much," the little prince replied.
"But I have not much time. I have friends to discover,
and a great many things to understand."

"One only understands the things that one tames," said the fox.
"Men have no more time to understand anything.
They buy things all ready made at the shops.
But there is no shop anywhere where one can buy friendship,
and so men have no friends any more.
If you want a friend, tame me . . . "


S'il te plaît... apprivoise-moi ! dit-il.
-Je veux bien, répondit le petit prince, mais je n'ai pas beaucoup de
temps. J'ai des amis à découvrir et beaucoup de choses à connaître.
-On ne connaît que les choses que l'on apprivoise, dit le renard.
Les hommes n'ont plus le temps de rien connaître.
Ils achètent des choses toutes faites chez les marchands.
Mais comme il n'existe point de marchands d'amis, les hommes n'ont plus d'amis.
Si tu veux un ami, apprivoise-moi !

Le Petit Prince, Antoine de Saint- Exupery.

Hidden...

Tribeca ,
Tribeca means Triangle Below Canal street.
A neighborhood that once was only warehouses.
And in it , a touch of color, a breath of Spring...

Tribeca, un quartier au Sud de Manhattan,
qui est une abreviation de Triangle sous Canal Street.
Fait d' entrepots transformés en appartements et parmi eux,
une petite note de couleurs,un petit air de Printemps...

And hidden behind those pretty flowers, a small note:
Et caché sous ces fleurs,un petit mot, un clin d'oeil de Mom:
Happy 22nd Birthday Delphine.

Everlasting

It seems they are crossing the room,
but they have been and will be there for a long time..
We, at the contrary, are just ephemeral..

Ils donnent l'impression de traverser la piece,
mais ils sont et seront la depuis et pour tres longtemps.
Contrairement a nous, qui ne sommes que "de passage"...

"Action"

A movie theater entrance on Broadway.
Spring is not exactly on its way here,yet.
So to see some bright colors you still need to go inside!!

L'entrée d'un cinéma sur Broadway.
Le printemps ne montre pas encore le bout de son nez..
Pour voir un peu de couleur ,on est encore obligé de rester a l'interieur!!
I wish you a very nice week end.

Repetitives...

The first time I saw this view I was 15 years old,
and I thought it was magical...
I have been living in NY 25 years now,
and I still get mesmerized...

La 1ere fois que j'ai eu cette "vision",j'avais 15 ans,
et j'ai trouve cela magique .
Cela va faire 25 ans que je vis a NY,
et quand je me retrouve face a cette vue, j'en ai toujours le souffle coupé..

5.50pm and 6pm from New Jersey.

To your left..to your right

This is the view from the street level,
being unable to get a picture from yesterday's building windows...
To the left, New York City harbor always buzzing ,
The Bayonne bridge in the background linking Staten Island and New Jersey.
And to the right...Lady Liberty being watched..

A gauche ,une vue du Port de New York, prise de la rue.
Je n'ai malheureusement pu prendre la vue des etages superieurs...
A l'arriere plan Le Bayonne Bridge reliant Staten island et le New Jersey.
A droite, les presentations sont elles vraiment necessaires!!!

Real Shutters

Shutters are not such a common sight here,
specially on apartments buildings.
Many houses have them in the suburbs, but they are mainly fake ones
that do not close, their purpose is purely esthetic, as opposed to those above.
Tomorrow, I will show you the view from those windows.

Les volets qui ferment ne se voient que rarement ici,
d'autant plus dans des immeubles d'appartements.
Les maisons a l'exterieur de NYC ont souvent des volets
mais dans un but uniquement esthetique,
ils sont colles aux murs et ne peuvent se fermer,contrairement a ceux ci.
Demain, je vous montrerai la vue de ces fenetres .

Good Bye Mr Ades

To everyone walking by Union Square Market more than once,
He was :
The white haired man with a tan, and a British accent
always dressed in a fine cut suit with a tie..
The man selling vegetables peelers for..
"Not 20... not 10..... but FIVE dollars"
Vanity Fair made him even more famous,writing about his 4 marriages
his beautiful apartment on the Upper East side and his love for "the street".
On Sunday, at 75 , he decided to test the pitch on other galaxies..

Pour ceux qui ont l'habitude de passer par le marché de Union Square,
il etait:
L'homme aux cheveux blancs ,en costume cravate,
parlant avec un accent Anglais.
Le Dandy qui vendait, avec bagout, des éplucheurs sur le marché.
Le magazine Vanity Fair lui avait consacré un article,
en evoquant ses 4 mariages,
son bel appartement dans le quartier huppé
mais surtout son amour de la rue .
Dimanche a l'age de 75ans, il nous a quittés
pour aller charmer de nouveaux badauds... dans d'autres galaxies..
