Lisa's boyfriend "Buddy Love" - when I die I want to come back as one of her pets. He is a sweet Morgan/Quarter Horse gelding. Dependable with a great ground manner. He likes to greet visitors to Llewellyn Park - often by sticking his nose in their car window and expecting to be adored.⁠

Construction on the building behind our little cave in Greenwich Village (NYC) is finally showing some real progress. Planned to be part "tech hub" and part residential this 16 story building replaces an undistinguished 3 story brick structure that housed Blatt Billiards. It has been under construction since 2017 at least, maybe earlier. If nothing else it allows me to channel El Lissitsky as I weekly check on the glacial progress. My opinion? Not so bad, generic aluminum facade is thankfully dark colored. My father used to say " New York is a great place to visit but I think I'll come back when it is finished" A man who loved NYC, he was being facetious, NYC is ever evolving, and that makes it wonderful.⁠

photograph manipulated in Photoshop. Back in the days before Getty Images revolutionized stock photography I made this picture for my stock photography library. I had a nice business selling my work as stock. Now it is a losing proposition for any photographer to create images for stock. You can stay home and sleep and not make any money, or you can work hard at stock and not make any money - your choice!⁠

This was supposed to be part of the previous post. The copper beech has a younger tree in front of Chestnut Hall, a gorgeous Tudor which was demolished many years ago.

Sadly this magnificent ancient 100 foot high copper beech (Fagus sylvatica purpurea) had to be taken down this week. This is an old picture of it before the ravages of old age led to its demise. The owner hesitated to remove it but finally realized it was a sad old dead relic. She is keeping the base in the ground as a table where we expect to have a toast to the old giants of Llewellyn Park. Living in an old romantic landscape requires a lot of maintenance and renewal. Right now is always the best time to plant another tree. ⁠ The second undated historic photo is of the tree when it was younger. The beautiful tudor house known as Chestnut Hall behind the tree was demolished long ago.⁠
