My Actifit Report Card: December 5 2019 More festive decorations in NYC
More festive decorations in NYC
This morning my First VTC wasn't till 8:30 AM so I had time for a morning walk before heading to the office, so I went to check out a couple of my favorite decorations on 6th Avenue, unfortunately they had not been turned on yet, well one of them the big lights, but still got a good walk in before going to the office and I will share some shots from the walk below, as always I had my Sony camera with me and took a bunch of shots which I just need to find some time to edit for future posts, my walk today was on 6th Initially, then 5th and back towards the office getting a little over 5K in before work, work got in the way for most of the rest of the day with lots of meetings, but still got a total number of steps I am happy with due to walks between buildings for meetings .
Now I will start the post with a shot from last year as these lights were not turned on this morning and to be honest my favorite decoration that is out each year in the city, just simple Christmas tee lights, but huge ones :)

Next up is one of the decorations i had to get shots of I do every year and t always triggers a Un text exchange between my wife and Daughter in Law about big red balls when i send them the photos and this year was no different, I just sent them a minute ago and my phone is beeping as they text each other back and forth and I know where the conversation is going LOL

And this is why I put the shots out of order i wanted to have all the tree shots together, but while in Bryant Park I did get a shot of some of the Winter village shops, it looks deserted i know but thats because it was before 8Am and the shops weren’t open yet

Sending tips with @tipU - how to guide.
That first one is either a really amazing macro shot, or you're actually a minuscule person with a minuscule camera! 😂

Damn it! I was hoping you were really tiny! Lol.
WellI wish I was smaller but not that tiny lOL
NYC like SF goes ALL THE WAY OUT for Christmas!!!
I won't be able to go to SF until later in the month! I'd love to see what is in Union Square and the other places in SF. And when I do, I shall take photos to share with you... while thinking: "... hmmmmm, I wish I could capture all these colors and the festive spirit of Christmas the way my friend @tattoodjay does."
Have a lovely evening, my friend, and take care.🥰🌺🤙
Ohh yeah I can imagine what SF is like I have never been there, but I do love getting around as much of the city as I can at this time of year and seeing all the sights it is such fun to do even in the cold lOL
I look forward to seeing your shots when you can get them to share with us :)
you too have a lovely evening
Those decorations are fantastic! I remember walking around Bryant Park last January and really, really liked it. I so want to go back.
I think if i was ever to visit NYC after I stop working there i would go at this time of year I love all the decorations :)

NYC christmas's look fun! I might be coming out there in February. A little late for the holiday season though. :(
Yes the Christmas decorations will be gone by then but still a lot to see, if you have any questions before coming feel free to ask :)
It is so amazing to see these decorations! I love each and every one of them and I love that you are getting out there to bring them to us!
