Mosaic Monday: Around Times Square

This time last year, give or take a few days
I spent a few days in upstate New York
photographing goddess women, autumn color,
kite festivals and antique shops.



Then I headed to the Big Apple
for a bite or two. I love its energy!

I love Time Square. Your mosaic says it all. I used to live in Manhattan, and I just love to people watch. There is always plenty to see and hear in Times Square.

Snap: The Naked Cowboy was a bit of a surprise, but I guess he's around a lot.

Vee: this time my friend and I took a sightseeing bus so we could get a flavor of different areas. Great thing to do.

Karen: So where are you living now?

Garden of Threads: I suspect, like most big cities, you either love it or hate it. We stayed at the Marriott Marquis right on Times Square and it was fun to have all that activity just outside the door.

GrandmaK: there's so much to photograph in NYC.

EGWow: I'm always looking for traveling buddies for photo shoots. Maybe next week I'll do a mosaic based on the upstate New York shots. Truly, you can always find great things to photograph if you just slow down and open yourself to possibilities.

You may or may not know that the Nez Percé   had been granted reservation lands in 1855  by the Washington Territory's  territorial governor, Isaac Stevens.  The land reserved for the tribe encompassed  their traditional hunting lands,  including the Wallowa Valley.  But as settlement by whites continued and gold was found,  the incentive to honor that treaty diminished. The Nez Percé were offered a much smaller reservation centered around Lapwai, Idaho with schools,  a hospital and financial rewards.  In exchange, they had to cede their hunting lands.  Some of the tribal chiefs agreed,  but Chief Joseph (1840 - 1904) refused.  Unable come to an agreement with the U.S. government,  the non-treaty bands were thr...
