@xyppy , I really like all your pictures. I'd guess that you're in the Inwood section of Manhattan; haven't had a chance to see those locations along the Hudson or around Fort Tryon Park for some time, but they're very familiar.
Stay well,

In the Singapore Zoo last Sunday morning with my new Guide's Edition Synik 22 in Navy Parapack. I'm really happy with how it looks.

This color combination is so beautiful. I was tempted to order this but, my original GE Synapse 25 is Deep Blue / Coyote (Parapack wasn't an option two years ago for the GE versions, and there were no smaller size options), my Synik 30 is Navy Parapack/Steel Parapack, and I thought it would probably be excessive to select Navy Parapack for my GE Synik 22 -- so I ordered Ursa. But, I always think that Navy and Deep Blue are among the best combinations with Coyote. (Wilderness Green also looks pretty snazzy).
Enjoy your Synik!

Thanks @moriond ! You're correct. I live on the border of Fort George, Hudson Heights and Inwood. Since the land is flatter in the direction of Inwood, that's where I usually find myself when I'm on my bike.

EC went to the grocery this morning. First trip out since mid-March (other than early morning walks).
We picked up an Easter food bag that I ordered online 2 days ago.
EC carried keys, driver’s license + debit card to pay for my purchase + phone + piece of paper where I wrote my order number/name.
EC and I went straight to the shower when we got back.
Stay safe everyone.

It was a perfect morning to practice some outside social distancing and go for a run with my newly renamed Everyday Cubelet in Nebulous Grey. I used the Gatekeeper straps and wore it behind me as a crossbody sling and it worked exceptionally well.

Well, due to our state’s “Better at Home” order, my bags haven’t really gone much of anywhere although I did take my Aeronaut 45 along with my Synapse 19 and Side Kick to my in-laws to check on my mother-in-law. She has Alzheimer’s and is struggling right now.
But my poor Swift was emptied. My cat noticed, though, and gave it some love. I wanted to get her off of it, but I know with the Nordic Halcyon fabric that her fur will brush right off of it, and she looks so happy...

My Side Kick went with me to get a spiced hot chocolate with homemade marshmallow, enjoyed sitting in the sun in a park. Since yesterday cafes and restaurants have reopened for takeout orders only, so it was great to go and have something different from usual.

Museums are open again! So, I took the opportunity to visit the marvelous garden and museum "Insel Hombroich" near Dusseldorf with my DLBP in Nordic, a fantastic light backpack especially in the summery weather we had today! (Just in case anybody is wondering: The official policy in Germany is that we have to wear masks in public only inside but not outside.)

Holy smokes what a great photo. Love the color.
Great to see you out and about! Museums will open here starting in a few days time, so I'm hoping to get out a bit more with my bags.
