I was taking advantage of the less than 30 minutes (the rest of the neighborhood has 90 minutes) of alternate side parking that is enforced on east 86th street. I am writing this post in an effort to own my own content and not give it all to facebook and twitter.
I made friends with this flirty butterfly. I am unsure why it chose to land on my retracted window, but it did long enough for me to snap this picture.
Thank you butterflyNYC.
PS: I also posted a copy of the NYC 2010 alternate side of the street parking calendar on my website here.
