Yesterday I strolled across the park to one fish two fish, a seafood restaurant I’ve been eating at for twenty years.
It looked like rain so I left my camera behind. Big mistake. It had rained the night before and everything was brilliant green and in full bloom.
After a lunch and a long writing session I headed back across the park. By time I got to West Side I was determined to come right back with my camera.
It ended up being overcast all day with no rain. Today is a different story - we have one of those steady all day rain things going on.
My brother and I enjoyed this playground as children, as did my own daughter. She’ll be 25 this Thursday. “Mom” she said, “I’m looking at a quarter of a century here.” I’ll be 47 in December. I’m heading towards a half century on a skateboard with greased wheels.

Central Park is beautiful in the springtime with all the blossoms!! I made the mistake of not bring my camera one day. Now, I just carry it with me ALL the time! Then, I don’t have to worry about missing something!! Terrific park and great memories for you. And just to make you feel better…you are still two years younger than I am!! Have a great day!!
