Soulful Strut ~~ Pitkin Avenue

A Visit To The Dunes….Echoes Of My Neighbourhood #8

 

#Brooklyn   Brooklyn, New York ~~ Today’s Soulful Strut took me from Rockaway Avenue where I made a right turn onto Pitkin Avenue. I walked along Pitkin Avenue all the way to Howard Avenue.  The photos of the little guy in the flower pot and the cookie message were taken 11/28/2015 along Ralph Avenue.

#Brooklyn    #SoulfulStrut

Today’s Soulful Strut took me from Rockaway Avenue over to Broadway along where the J subway train runs over to Lexington which is just a couple of blocks beyond Gates Avenue, Brooklyn, NY.

So far today I’ve had a yogurt, banana, and am now having my steamed broccoli & cauliflower mix. While I was out for my Soulful Strut I stopped at the grocery store to buy some healthy food items. Purchased two Coconut Waters.  Walking exercise is a wonderful thing!

South Street Seaport and Lady Bagpiper

My brother Stephen and I spent the day at South Street Seaport after walking from 42nd Street Port Authority over to 42nd Street Grand Central Terminal. Outside of Grand Central we saw this Lovely Lady Bagpiper. First time I’ve ever seen a woman Bagpiper so after donating a dollar to her cause she obliged me with a curtsy and two photos. Beautiful and talented young lady.  In some of the photos you can see the Brooklyn Bridge. Stephen and I were able to take a tour of the Peking which is a ship built in Germany in 1911.
