Warwick Hotel Window and Door

The Warwick Hotel off 6th Avenue in New York City looks impressive – I took photos of the window and entrance door as we walked past on Sunday.

Salute to Israel Parade Reds

This woman on tall stilts was quite talented. Does anyone know what SDNY stands for? Security Defense of New York? There were a lot of them in the contigent for the Israeli government – extra security, we surmised. (Tink says in the comments it stands for “Southern District of New York”).

Did you know that researchers in Israel are working hard on an electric car? Via Twitter, I discovered the man in the car is Michael Granoff (mikejgr).

How does this guy juggle and ride a unicycle at the same time?

Salute to Israel Parade 2010

This year I said I would not take a lot of pictures. I would not, I would not, I would not. I came home and emptied a mere 126 images unto my external hard drive. This post features schools from New Jersey that marched in the Salute to Israel Parade down 5th Avenue in New York City in May 2010.

Next year my daughter will be old enough to march with her school. Her school, RPRY in Edison, always features dancers as a highlight.

It’s a lot of fun when you know the person holding the banner, and he enthusiastically smiles at you. This is my eldest son’s school, Torah Academy of Bergen County.

We recognized several of the students of Kushner Hebrew Academy and Kushner Yeshiva High School of Livingston, New Jersey.

Yavneh Academy had a sunny theme.

I liked the bright kites. Related to the sunny theme.

Here is Solomon Schecter Day School of Raritan Valley.

JEC of Elizabeth, New Jersey had a lively, colorful banner.

I captured the banner for the Frisch School of Paramus, New Jersey just as we were leaving the parade. We didn’t stay for the whole time – as it is, we didn’t get back home until 5 pm.

No idea what organization held this banner that reads “Jerusalem is the capital of Israel.”

BIG green chair – SOOC

This lime green chair at Rutgers Gardens is *really* big. It has a twin facing it, too. I saw some “tiny” people sitting in the chair but didn’t get a photo of them. These sculptures must be fairly new – I don’t remember them from previous years.

Mustard Weed is Not Red

Yesterday we (my daughter, my eldest son, a group of volunteers, and I) picked garlic mustard weed at the Native Plant Reserve in Highland Park, New Jersey. Since our mustard weed demonstrator had red in his shirt, I can use this photo as a Ruby Tuesday post. More on yesterday’s invasive weed picking.

I will be very busy tomorrow preparing for Shavuot, a Jewish holiday in which one traditionally brings flowers into one’s home. I won’t be picking buttercups, though, but I wanted to share these pretty yellow buttercups from the Native Plant Reserve with you.
