On the corner

520 Madison Avenue, New York

Succulent layers

She makes me smile

My little Mud Flap Jill necklace by Wendy Brandes.

A walk I remember

My mother and sister stroll across the Brooklyn Bridge.

Drama

This building immediately makes me think of Cary Grant, the non-existent George Kaplan and Eva Marie Saint's orange suit as she saunters past Cary on the train at Grand Central.

Sheltering sky

Roxy Paine's Maelstrom, a stainless-steel sculpture on the roof of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.

Blue against blue

Vesey Street, next to the World Trade Center site, New York.
