By the light the silvery moon, New York in June. Zero Mostel sang it best in the 1968 film The Producers.

This past week, I experienced Manhattan in June. Pictured here is a cloud-swirled full moon over Washington Square; Gramercy Park balconies & ivy; Sheep Meadow squirrels; East River clouds, boats, lighthouses and bridges; the Plaza fountain; and a pretty midtown building in blue.

I am struggling between my need to write and my urge to photograph it all. I’m trying to calm down, go with flow, and see what happens next.

If you need more, HERE is a link to more NYC photos that bring me cheer.
