WEST PALM BEACH FLORIDA – A worse than usual travel day. The Federal Government seems to have started a job action in pursuit of the “sequester”. This has left air traffic controllers short-handed leading in our case to a three and one half hour delay for a two and one half hour flight from West Palm to LaGuardia. Here’s the inside of the bus from the car rental lot with my iPhone:
On this day last year: Rock Center.

JUPITER ISLAND FLORIDA – We flew down to West Palm Beach yesterday and drove to the next big island North, Jupiter Island, which is not much more than a sandbar – typically 100 yards wide but about 20 miles long. Maximum elevation is 10 feet. It’s listed by Wikipedia as the second most wealthy populated area in the United States. From the air it looks like an elongated cluster of large houses; from the ground we refer to it as the “Land of Enchanted Hedges”. There are some really, really tall ones. All nicely maintained. The local hedge guy with the largest cherry picker must make a fortune.
We’re here for a wedding – a daughter of a friend of very long standing. For some reason I’m not achieving much here from a photographic point of view. My eye doesn’t seem to connect well with the tropics. Perhaps it’s my Utah upbringing; my resonance is with the desert. For some reason Manhattan works but Florida doesn’t. So I’ll post what I have but I don’t expect you to stand up and cheer about it. The wedding was today but I didn’t get anything good enough to post. The grim-looking overcast does’t help.
On this day last year: Roger’s shop.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – Another day of meetings. I caught this detail of the outside of Grand Central Terminal with my Leica M and 35mm bokeh king lens.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – April is intense. We have an expectation on Spring that seems to be a bit frustrated this year and a heavy schedule of meetings in my legal life. I sneaked this image out our dining room window – a different take on a familiar scene. Leica M with 35mm bokeh king lens.
On this day last year: Sunset out my window.
