A Brooklyn Day, September 2012

I had to work for a bunch of this weekend, but it's amazing what you can do and see in a few hours on a Sunday in Brooklyn.  I harvested some figs from my tree, went downtown to see PowderKeg (my wife's new writing space) and was fortunate enough to get a chance to finally see Stephen Powers' amazing artwork next to the Brooklyn Macy's.  I have to say that Powers' piece is the best combination of street art and poetry I've seen.  Then, when we got home we had the most amazing fig, bacon, and caramelized onion pizza.  Check out the three photosets here (click on the titles in the bottom left of the photosets to choose which one to see).

Fig Harvest

Well one great thing about the fall, aside from not having to deal with impossibly hot and humid days anymore, is harvest time. For me this year (it was a very tough growing season) that mostly means figs from my fig tree. The tree has gotten so big at this point since I planted it some 5 years ago that I can't even reach the highest ones with a ladder. So, I guess this year the birds and the squirrels will have to fight amongst themselves for those ones.
