Jazz Age Picnic (and a turkey)

[rm]

Today was the Jazz Age PIcnic on Governors Island.

Things of note included a wild turkey wandering around Wall Street, a new section of the island being opened (which led to me loudly shrieking and laughing about being dressed like Jack Harkness and almost falling out of a hammock, repeatedly), a city employee that will be the subject of a nasty phone call I make to 311 and, of course, PURE AWESOMENESS. Photos below. Turkey included.

Wild turkey on Wall Street!




picnic carnage




This girl's dress had a habit of giving us a very good view of her very nice ass. I didn't take pictures of that indiscretion though.




boys dancing!




I just love this photo to pieces. LIttle boy, laughing parent and tuba!




We're really into each other.




flowers!

Patty with fake roses




seagull!




I'm vain, but my reaction is not normally, "yeah, I'd do me," but yeah, I would. Love this photo. Yay Patty.




Hammock! I was really bad at this and laughing like an idiot. Patty thinks this looks like she is eating my brains.




I live in the greatest city in the world AND I get to go home with her.

We don't, I don't think. We're speculating it came over on the Staten Island Ferry.

Manhattan, where even the turkeys commute. Definitely odd.

On an unrelated, note, you too look impressively adorable together. Yay!

and the pigeons, too! i've seen them hop on the D train at Coney Island, ride a few stops, and hop off again.

It might have come over the bridge - I hear that is how coyotes make their way to Manhattan. Hee!

Well, turkey are wily birds. And we were all just reading about dogs taking the commuter trains in Russia...so it's possible that turkey take the ferry. They wouldn't be the first birds to use boats to their own purpose. Ocean birds have been using sailboats for centuries.
