six word story
This year (2015) there was no public apple picking at this orchard. So the people working there sorting and packing apples are even more important to the operation. As always, the store was bustling with activity, and there were always free samples if buying the whole bag was not on one's list. Of course, there are pies, cider donuts, cider, caramel apples, and many other delicious choices, but nothing beats an apple to keep the doctor away, as they say.
These paintings on the wall reminded me of my own children's drawings which I still keep in a box and cherish most.
In 1926, Planters held a contest to develop a trademark for their brand, offering a prize of $5.00 for the best design. The winner was a 14 year old boy who submitted a drawing of a little peanut person. To enhance the image, an artist later added the top hat monocle and cane for a more upscale look. Thus Mr. Peanut became a part of our heritage. This rare 1940's parade statue of Mr. Peanut current resides within the Big Apple located in Colborne Ontario Canada.

Central Park Skating Rink, New York City, New York, USA.
On assignment for Changi Class Magazine.
Central Park skating. Would have been a lot of fun if we didn't have to wait in line for two hours and fight off marauding hordes of poorly-skating teens to do it!
I was lucky to have Jahrensy and Damian along for the ride on this NYC adventure. See what they have to say about it.

Greenwich is alive! With lots of beautiful and interesting people, a gay community, nice restaurants, and trendy cafés. The houses are elegant and the streets are charming. Visit Greenwich Village and get the real flavor of New York.
We went round-and-round in Central Park trying to decipher the map that pointed the way to a Carousel. Finally found it.
An old shot from last year's Christmas vacation...going up to Pennsylvania again this year and passing by NYC =]
No this is not me with New York's finest, his friend was taking a shot of him with the officer so I decided not to let the pose go to waste with one shot!
I have to admit that I took shots on my mobile phone too, but I am not one for taking selfies.
Gone are the days when we would set up a tripod with the camera, put it on a self timer and pose for what seemed like a long time waiting for the shutter take the shot.
