We've been around the world, to Asia, to Europe and traveled in the United States. But one of my blog readers -- who asked to remain nameless -- suggested it was time to click my ruby red slippers and come home. Not having ruby red slippers -- they just don't work with orthotics -- I clicked and clicked my pink and white sneakers (sneakers take a lot of clicking) and now we are back in New York City.
I am happy to be home and so happy that I am running a quick, quick giveaway. It's a little gift from BlogHer that will be awarded to the one of the people to correctly name the bridge in the background of this picture. I will announce the winner on Monday evening and entries close at 11:59 on Sunday, August 19th. If no one is correct I will randomly pick a name from folks who comment. This is only open to those living outside of New York City. As a clue, this photo is about ten miles from where I live in Manhattan.
It is a beautiful day today, sunny and not too hot. I've got few plans and look forward to walking as much as I can, doing a little grocery shopping and taking my kindle to read outside. I'll be taking pictures to share what a leisurely summer Saturday in New York looks like a la Buttercup.
Wishes for a sweet Saturday!

Love your sense of humor! Ya, the next time I put on sneakers, I'll probably be attempting a heel-click. :)
I've absolutely NO idea re. this bridge's identity, but will guess the 59th Street. (Only on account I used to love Harper's Bizarre's "Bridge Song.")
Wishing you a delightful afternoon!
Gosh, I don't even have a clue.
We are having one of those picture perfect days as well! Enjoy!!
I don't know what the bridge is called... let's call it "Buttercup's Bridge":)
Have a blessed day dear friend, HUGS!

Don 't know the name - sorry. Have fun, Lady BC
I'd like to click my haflingers & end up in NYC. I was there a week ago - for a mini-moment. Got off a plane, into a car and rose to Burlington Vermont . . (business) -
Happy Happy Week to You!!!

Nice you're back home for a spell.

Oh, my! I have no idea - unless it's the Brooklyn Bridge?!? I'm just not good about New York City landmarks.
We've been away - literally - for a few days, so I have some catching up to do.:)

My hubby used to live in Connecticut and traveled to New York frequently. He thinks it's the Williamsburg Bridge too??? Me, I haven't a clue.
I know the entry is over but I would like to guess anyway, for the fun of it. I will guess the Brooklyn Bridge. Blessings Buttercup, Catherine
