out and about in nyc (central park), part one

Central Park is hands down my favorite place

to be in New York City.  See there I am in the center of the ice

rink pretending I'm in the Winter Olympics.  (Kidding, that is

definitely not me!)  I loved watching the skaters though. 

The only times that I have been in New York have been

in the summer, so this brisk weather with the sun out was

so lovely - I came prepared with my clothing and loved

being out in the cool weather.

The 2nd day I went thru the park was quite a bit warmer and

the warmth of the sun had me peeling my jacket and scarf off.

It was so much fun just people watching.  Everyone

out for their Sunday stroll (or run).  There were quite

a few runners out there in their shorts, alot of families

walking and biking and playing - enjoying the day.

And there was me loving my walk and snapping photos of

some of my favorite aspects of the park.  This tile work was

under one of the bridges leading to The Mall and when I

walked under it, there was a youth group singing
"It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year"

(I was singing along with them as I was snapping my photos

of all the gorgeous tile work.)

 

Isn't this bench beautiful - I just love it!

I had a smile on my face the whole time I was walking thru

this park, it is just so lovely.  Of course, I still haven't scratched

the surface of it, but hopefully one day I will trek further and enjoy

more of it's beauty.

 

Rustic Wrought Iron makes my heart sing.

 

As do gorgeous flowers



And beautiful skylines...As I was finishing up my walk, I heard
some fabulous music - it was an elderly man playing some great
tunes on his saxophone - When The Saints Go Marching In was playing
as I walked by.  I stood for a few moments just listening, it was great!

As much fun as it is to get away and explore different cities,

there is definitely no place like home and I always look forward

to that just as much as the trip itself!

 

Enjoy each moment and be kind !
