Scribbles and Photos

A very good friend suggested that I try out 500px.  After 24 hours, and three pictures, I will say one thing -- it is a heck of a lot easier than uploading photos to blogger and the linking out to 500px from here seems to be similarly easy. This photo is from a new dig that is happening near Hudson Yards.  I think if I was going to be a piece of construction equipment, this is the one I would want to be.  Such a serious looking machine. It's a Liebherr LB28 -- which roughly translated is that it is a rotary drilling rig. Hope I get back this way again in time to see the holes this rig can dig.

I Work for Nuts ©2015 Nancy Lundebjerg I think this squirrel has a future in modeling.  She (or he?) can be found scampering around the stairs at the 72nd Street exit from Riverside Park if you are interested in signing her (him?) up as a client.  One never knows when a director might have a need for a cute little squirrel.

Carving Peace ©2015 Nancy Lundebjerg As much as I am enjoying the popularity of the Decontructed #ThickenedLiquidChallenge ,  it's time for another post.  Truth be told this blog very rarely experiences triple digit traffic and so for a post to get there within 5 days and then go on to surpass Lions Eating Dinner is big news in my little corner of the internet.  Obviously I was helped along by the fact that it was in response to a challenge from the creators of GeriPal and tagging on to their effort to increase health professionals' awareness of the pros and cons of prescribing thickened liquid. Kelsey Still ©2015 Nancy Lundebjerg But I digress which is particularly crazy given that this post is one about mindfulness and the practice thereof.  Believe me when I tell you that I rarely meditate -- unless one counts zoning out at some particularly inappropriate time (like during the sermons of my youth).  So, I was surprised to find that ...
