Wow, what a sunny weekend in NYC! Everyone was out and about. Here are a few shots of a stroll I took through Central Park. Come with me!
Hills were covered with bikini clad sun worshippers. Picnics were spread out under trees. I turned a corner near the Metropolitan Museum of Art and sat down on a bench to listen to great jazz.
But you don't have to go in the museum to see art, there's tons of historic and innovative art throughout the park....this cat sits on a bluff above the running lane....waiting for runners to pass by and ambush them....(just kidding...!)
The boat house was packed...............
.........brunchers were enjoying their meal with an excellent open air view of the rowers on the pond....
...the bar was humming. And the outside bar was filled to the gills with people celebrating summer.
..........just steps away, this was the line waiting to rent a row boat to go out on the pond...
.....there are so many beautiful corners of Central Park....this fountain being one of them.
..........and did you know there is a very lovey croquet court in the park??
...in fact, in many ways, Central Park is on the up and up. There's even a Pain Quotedienne instead of the former, not so great, snack shacks that used to dot the park. This is seriously good news.
...........it seems to me that Central Park is the perfect place to be on a perfect sunny day. Good food. Clean, well-groomed landscape. Art. Music. And others who also are in the mood to celebrate, in a laid back way, the return of summer in the city.
