52 Snapshots of Life Photo Challenge-Week 21: Sky
This is the sky over my beautiful New York City. I flew back home for a few days last week to visit and go to my friend, Suzanne Donaldson’s (aka MrsSizzle.com) Swatch party in Times Square. I took this shot as I was excitedly coming in for a landing and thought it’d be perfect for this week’s 52 Snapshots of Life photo challenge theme of Sky.
The buzz I felt, just stepping outside the terminal at filthy LaGuardia airport (better known as a third world country airport), was palpable and it didn’t leave for three days. Why did I move to Florida then, you might ask? Because visiting NYC will most assuredly give me that buzz, while living there was starting to give me a headache! LOL Too much noise; too much dirt; too much traffic and too many people – amazing to get swept up in temporarily, but harder to live in permanently.
I love waking up in our Fort Lauderdale tropical home. When we take Sophie and Jasper out for a walk, it’s quiet, calm, sunny, warm and moseying has become a way of life on those walks. Love love!
Pet blogging friend and colleague, Christina Berry of The Lazy Pitbull, created this fun challenge. You don’t have to be a blogger to participate. Just snap or choose a pic you’ve taken that matches that week’s theme and post it on your social networks, with the hashtag #52Snapshots, so we can all follow along! For pet bloggers, this is a BlogHop, so hop on!
Do you have a favorite city?
Beautiful photo- I love NYC 🙂
Thanks, Ellen. I love it too. 🙂
Sometimes my favorite city is NYC, sometimes it’s Rome, and sometimes it’s Boston!! I am fickle!
Great shot! So funny about Laguardia Airport LOL!
LOL LaGuardia is pretty much a dump. I love other cities too – Rome and Paris included – but NYC is my home so I’ve got friends and great memories there and do love to visit. But, that’s the thing. Now that I’ve moved out, it’s become a great place to visit but I like coming back to Fort Lauderdale to live day to day. Funny. Guess I had enough of the insanity that is what makes NYC a great city and also a tough city to live in.
I have the best of both worlds. I live close enough to NYC to see the skyline from my window and far enough that it’s fairly quiet here with a quarter as many people.
That is the best of both! I am happy to have moved to Fort Lauderdale but I do miss NYC. So I go visit. The dogs seem happier here and we get to be outdoors with them in an environment with lots of grass, trees, the pool, etc often, so that’s great. But a city type environment is a very social place for dogs, and that’s good too. They both have things to offer.
