...this time in downtown New Brunswick, and out of focus - an example of what happens when one takes a flashless picture when one's scurrying out of a restaurant, and one's left with little choice of what to use as an image at the end of a long and non-photographic day (though I wish that I'd poked the camera lens into the wonderful bag of bagels that Becca brought to class from Brooklyn this morning). So I had to do some rapid doctoring to this bird, which I suddenly saw among the ivy at the back of the Frog and the Peach: what puzzles me is how kitsch it is, or isn't, in its intention. But then, very many pink flamingoes leave me puzzled in that way.
