4/12/16 - Another day without much time for pictures, so I went back to my old accordian style post-it notes.
FYI, this is not the way to leave a note to avoid a parking ticket. I found this in my archives and it came from a buddy who works in parking enforcement.

Note: I chose this photo, among the ten that I uploaded to Flickr on the evening of Apr 9, 2011, as my "photo of the day." I liked the lines and colors and framing of the photo -- but most of all, I liked the sense of energy conveyed by the woman in the foreground, as she was jogging right past me...

What a difference a year makes: on the first day of spring in 2010, I noted (in this Flickr set that "all 8 million New Yorkers were ready to take advantage of [spring]. The sun was out, the temperature was in the 70s, the sky was blue, and the clouds had disappeared to some other part of the country. There was no way a sane person could stay indoors..."
This year, spring arrived about 6 hours earlier; and while the sun was out, the temperature was in the low 40s rather than the 70s. Because the temperature was about 30 degrees colder, about the only activities I noticed were bicycling, jogging, brisk walking, and skating -- instead of the picnics and sunbathing that I had expected. I found a bench near a spot on the river walkway near 82nd Street, and situated myself with the sun behind me, facing north towards the George Washington Bridge in the far background. There were plenty of people heading south, with the bright springtime sun shining directly on them, and I sat there for about an hour, until I had collected some 500 images with my new Sony SLT a55 camera -- a subset of which ended up in this Flickr set
A week later, the view from my apartment window indicated that it was going to be a mild, sunny day -- so I returned to Riverside Park once again. Unfortunately, by the time I got to the park, I could see that it was going to be cold, raw, and blustery. I entered the park at 96th Street this time, about half a mile further north than last weekend; and after taking a few pictures in the "upper park" (i.e., up above the river level, and the West Side Highway), I walked down through an underpass to the river, and found another convenient bench facing north.
Once again, there were bikers, skaters, joggers, and walkers moving past me at varying speeds; and once again, everyone was bundled up against the wind. The George Washington Bridge, the Hudson River, and the New Jersey shoreline are visible in most of the photos; it will give you some perspective on how things look if you live on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.
I took several hundred photos over the space of a couple hours, until I was too cold to stay any longer. And I eventually decided that 40 of them were interesting enough to warrant uploading to Flickr.
And at this point, I think I really will avoid the Park for several weeks, until it gets much warmer. Until that happens, there are lots of other places to explore and photograph...
In jazz and blues, a blue note is a note sung or played at a slightly lower pitch than that of the major scale for expressive purposes. Typically the alteration is a semitone or less, but this varies among performers and genres.
"Like the blues in general, the blue notes can mean many things. One quality that they all have in common, however, is that they are flatter than one would expect, classically speaking. But this flatness may take several forms. On the one hand, it may be a microtonal affair of a quarter-tone or so. Here one may speak of neutral intervals, neither major nor minor. On the other hand, the flattening may be by a full semitone--as it must be, of course, on keyboard instruments. It may involve a glide, either upward or downward. Again, this may be a microtonal, almost imperceptible affair, or it may be a slur between notes a semitone apart, so that there is actually not one blue note but two. A blue note may even be marked by a microtonal shake of a kind common in Oriental music. The degrees of the mode treated in this way are, in order of frequency, the third, seventh, fifth, and sixth."
Blue notes are used in many blues songs, in jazz, and in conventional popular songs with a "blue" feeling, such as Harold Arlen's "Stormy Weather." Blue notes are also prevalent in English folk music. Bent or "blue notes", called in Ireland "long notes", play a vital part in Irish music.

(Photo note: The female Elephant Seals are a little cranky during this season. I would be also if I had to lie on the beach for 4-6 weeks (without food or water) in order shed all my old hair and skin.)
Elephant seals molt each year between April and August, shedding not only their hair but also the upper layer of their skin as well. This is known as "catastrophic molt". This “molting” process takes from four to six weeks per animal as they rest along the beaches. They return to rookery beaches for a few weeks while molting. Females molt in the spring, juveniles in the early summer, and adult males molt in the late summer. Source: The Marine Mammal Center (www.marinemammalcenter.org/)
Location: Most people in the World have never seen an Elephant Seal in the wild. This series will introduce you to the species at the Piedras Blancas Elephant Seal Rookery. The Piedras Blancas Rookery, on Highway 1 seven miles north of San Simeon on the California Central Coast, is home to about 17,000 animals.)

The late Jerry Jacobson acquired former Buffalo Creek & Gauley No. 13 in 1993. It was last in steam in the late 1990s and now resides in the Age of Steam Roundhouse Museum in Sugarcreek, Ohio. The initials BC&G below the cab denote the railroad's heritage. No. 13 also worked for the Kelly's Creek & Northwestern in West Virginia as No. 6 before being sold to the BC&C to 1954.
