Day 121: NYC-World Trade Center 1 - April 30, 2012. For those interested in the progress of the construction of this building - today it achieved the distinction of becoming the tallest building in New York City, surpassing the height of the Empire State Building. Tonight the Empire State building is lighted in red, white and blue in honor of the WTC. It will be another year before the building is completed with the spire at the top.

Day 119: New York-New Jersey Shuttle Enterprise - April 28, 2012. Another shot of the Enterprise shuttle yesterday on the flight along the Hudson River. I'm still in awe of seeing this so close up.

Day 118: NY Syline - Brownstones Hoboken NJ - April 27, 2012. The city of Hoboken NJ has undergone enormous transition over the past 25 or so years. Once known as a blue-color town, the one mile square city has become gentrified and is a magnet for young professionals. The demand for housing has resulted in much renovation of old buildings and new construction. But the gems of Hoboken are still the old brownstones. View in large size to see the beautiful detail in these buildings.

Day 117: NY Syline - Afternoon Clouds - April 26, 2012. Gorgeous skies for home bound commuters yesterday afternoon after a dreary weather day.

Day 113: Lower Hudson River Scene NJ-NYC- April 22, 2012. Blue skies early this morning didn't last long - awaiting a heavy rain storm. This is a two shot panoramic view of the lower Hudson River.

Day 111: Red Mill - April 20, 2012. Photo #2 - Thought I would post a second image of this wonderful mill for anyone who would like a better idea of what the full scene looks like.

Day 111: Red Mill - April 20, 2012. The Red Mill Museum in Clinton NJ is a favorite photos spot for photographers. I posted images from here last year in the summer and fall and wanted to add a spring image to my collection. .

Day 110: Purple Pansies - April 19, 2012. Not much time for photos today - a quick grab shot of pansies after a light rain.

Day 109: Pink Azalea Blossoms - April 18, 2012. Lovely pale pink azaleas - one of the first azaleas to flower this year. Looking forward to the bounty of colors that these shrubs provide as more and more of them burst into bloom.

Day 108: Duck Green-winged Teal - April 17, 2012. A very lucky shot. These beautiful green-winged teal ducks have been seen over the winter and into the spring in the NJ Meadowlands but usually they stay too far out in the water to get photos. Yesterday, decided on a quick walk just before dinner and discovered a pair feeding along the edge of the water. I was able to get two quick shots before they swam away. Such beautiful creatures!. Thank you very much to everyone for the wonderful comments on my tulip photo yesterday - I had passed by the tulip patch several times in my car but the light was too harsh to capture the beautiful array of colors. So glad that I went back to check them out one last time. If you would like to see more of the images go to: http://www.geoghanart.com/Flowers/Tulips/16335430_CHMQg5#!i=1799092696&k=3bwnS6B

Day 105: 1 World Trade Center Night View- April 14, 2012. I haven't posted a status on the construction of this building in a while so here is a photo taken last night. In the past weeks, construction has been completed to the 100th floor - only four more floors until the full height is reached. Once completed, observation decks will be on floors 100, 101, and 102.

Day 103: Pink Cherry Blossoms - April 12, 2012. Many thanks to everyone who commented on my cherry blossom image yesterday. These beautiful flowers are fading so quickly. Went back to where I found the trees for a second time to try to get more images. I do wish that the winds that have been so strong in the past week and a half would die down - hard to photograph the beautiful Spring tree blossoms and concerned about the fire hazard of very dry brush and trees. More images of these blossoms can be seen at: http://www.geoghanart.com/Flowers/Cherry-Blossoms/16820421_czKzJ4#!i=1791175859&k=TxZL65g. PS. Can someone tell me how to create a hyperlink to make posting a link in the Daily Photos easier to read?
