I sat looking at this wall of water and contemplating my son's arrival back in the States from visiting his girlfriend in England. His dad is at the airport collecting him as I write this, and tomorrow he will be on a bus back to school, and the next day competing in a track meet. Ah, the endurance of youth. The water sounds soothed my noisy brain as water sounds always do. Can't wait to see my boy and his laundry tonight!
I love the sound of water...waterfalls, man made or nature...it is soothing! Happy time with your son returning home even if it is short and he leaves so soon to go to school.
ReplyDeletethanks, Ellen! nice to see you.
DeleteMaybe that is why doing laundry is so soothing- the water sounds.
ReplyDeleteMs Moon, maybe. But doing the laundry doesn't work that way for me. Maybe because i leave and them come back for the clothes instead of staying around to hear the water sounds!
DeleteI would love that waterfall in my backyard! I remember one just like it in midtown in NYC -- wonder if it's the same. And those colors! Did you "paint" the photo? It's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteElizabeth, they have quite a few waterfalls like this in midtown now. One is across the street from my job and i dont know why i dont go and sit next to it more! this one is opposite MOMA. it is beautiful, painted by the Hipstamatic app, not me!
DeleteHey, I know that little park! East side of midtown, right?
ReplyDeleteSteve, it is near MOMA. But these fountains are proliferating in midtown.
DeleteI remember this little park! an oasis. and your son coming home!
ReplyDeleteJOY!
XXOO

Yolie, and my son coming home! yes. big hugs to you and your sweet babies, all of them.
Deletei love the sound of waterfall...so soothing.
ReplyDeleteremember the waterfall across the street from the office? i am trying to go and sit there more!
DeleteWhat an enchanting spot. I can just imagine the lovely sound of the falling water.
ReplyDeleteAs far as sons and laundry... I miss both. :(
Sending love ~
Ha! dear Gabriele, i miss the son but not the laundry! love to you.
DeleteThis looks familiar. One of these days we should plan a meeting.
ReplyDeleteBTW, how do you do this new, cool thing with the replies?
ReplyDeleteGary, we should! even though i am an introvert really, which i have been told is not the same thing as shy. but yes, we should. and this new cool reply thing? it just showed up one day. i assume it will eventually show up for everyone on blogger, kind of the way facebook rolls out its new features. the truth? i prefer the old comments form. much simpler and easier to read and keep track of. but then, i guess i am just resisting change! nice to see you, friend. hope the year is off to a great start for you!
