Central Park in Winter
February 2, 2013
Central Park
“I have never found a city without its walkers’ rewards.”
– John Finley, “Traveling Afoot”
Temperatures plummeted to about 10 degrees during our final two days in NYC, but we found that it was comfortable walking as long as we stayed bundled up. Walking through the trees of Central Park broke the wind, taking the biggest edge off the cold. The park was a starkly beautiful place in winter. We happened to be there when they city was making snow for a winter festival. The sparkly moisture in the air created an eerily beautiful backdrop to the views.

Once again, it’s the lampposts that appeal. Those are beautiful photos.

I took my chances, checking your blog on a weekend, and was happy to see another posting about NYC! Happy Groundhog’s Day!

The groundhog did not see it’s shadow this morning, although we should see the sun this afternoon. That means spring is definitely on its way here!

I just want to let you know that I so enjoy your blog and your pictures. A friend sent a link about a year back and I have been enjoying your blog and your photos and paintings and writing since then. I especially enjoy your wonderful eye for photos and I have especially enjoyed this New York City trip. But I also love the sites and images from around Washington and Seattle since I live in Mount Vernon. I look forward to checking out your blog for the day before work in particular. Sets a nice tone for my day
Thank you for you time and talent.
