Don't Feed The Rats, originally uploaded by DRheins.

Only in New York. Thinking about tossing your lunch into the park? Fugetaboutit.

This sign in lower Manhattan tells the tale: Don't Feed The Rats! At least not the ones outside of the financial district.

Just back from Memorial Day weekend in Indianapolis. This is the biggest weekend of the year, as Circle City residents gear up for the annual running of the Indianapolis 500.

In the lobby of our hotel, banners scream "Welcome Race Fans" and we are even treated with an up close look at one of AJ Foyt's #14 Indy Cars.

Street Art, New York City


Street Art, New York City, originally uploaded by DRheins.

The streets of New York City are rich with art -- from retail installations, like this mural on a West Village cafe, to the more ephemeral paste-ups, stickers and graffiti works. If music sets the tempo, art makes the world go 'round.

Framed Graffiti, West Village, NYC

Graffiti as art, well now that's a pretty old debate. Clearly there are many who take their street art and paste ups seriously. Here, in the heart of the West Village, graffiti is showcased in grand style, at witnessed here: nicely framed tags, where once band posters and night club adverts lived.

sign of the times.

3 Haikus for Thursday

I am what I do

she shuffles low, reflective

each dawn breaks renewed

***

without doubt she stood

solid and stout on twin trees

arms wide, full of shade

***

tulip like her lips

fresh with dips of hue; we kissed

sent shivers thru me
