From top:
1. Beekman Tower, as seen from the south.
2. The blossoming trees have been so gorgeous I have been on the verge of writing poetry. (Luckily, I haven’t crossed that verge.)
3.–5. The work-in-progress piers at Hudson River Park.
6. Next time my windows need washing, I’m going to hire a crane. I mean, why not?
7. Why I need a roof terrace.
