Days of Sun and Clouds

It's been a couple of interesting days of sight-seeing; starting with Sunday, with Jeffery, and finishing with today.  It's interesting to me how every day is a little different.  Today, all the volunteers were working on Park clean-up and planting.  The subways were empty compared to tourist-filled weekends or early-day commuters.  The trees and flowers are springing up and out, and work projects are in evidence everywhere.
I haven't done the Museums, because the whole City is a big museum; or a festival.  I've even become very nimble and able when it comes to crossing streets; getting through crowds; and hopping onto my beloved subway.  Having TIME to discover New York City makes it much less stressful that a quick visit without knowing the ropes.  I feel like an "old hand".

Another great building which seemed to move with the clouds

Washington Square on a Sunday morning in late April

The arch, with George standing guard while Jeffery reads the plaque

cool building above Bryant Park

Jeffery showed me the raccoons that come out at dusk near the Ramble in Central Park

A nice young fellow took this "last light" photo for us

We wanted to see Central Park at night, but dusk served us just as well, and we strolled in fairyland-like lighting.

one of the bathrooms, which I have mapped for my wending convenience

Elms!

This wee pup just stood there for long moments, looking just like this

Pink!

I like the colors of stone bridge and native flora

This tree was probably four man-arm-spans around; rivaling our canyon giants

one entry to Central Park

The boating pool

One of the many statues in the park

This little cement dog reminded me of the one in the Park

Charles A. Dana Discovery Center

I see a face; like an Easter Island statue

nice arbor and garden

Serene, isn't it?

dancing children.  I was talking to my mom when I came across this.

Yesterday, the Park was covered with people.  Today, I had the place almost to myself, due to cold.

I'd not heard the term "pinetum" before.

couldn't resist showing you all the paving that goes all the way around Central Park's outer sidewalks

Oh my goodness; Johny Winter.....or is it Johnny, like the sign says?

This policewoman came to guard the fellow who was collecting the money from the parking pay stations

A tiled building entry with a good message

construction dudes...aren't they sexy?  I took this so I can compare how it grows.  It's 739 8th Ave.

The building being constructed (see previous photo) will cover this old advertisement(s).  Steam heat!!
