Central Park

We're finally getting some much needed April showers today - so, I'm getting alot of indoor projects completed.  I am also thinking about the beautiful day yesterday - and the pleasant stroll through Central Park (among other locales).

Picture-Perfect Day

What a spectacular day to go for a walk along the Hudson River and take in views of the George Washington Bridge!  Although a little warm at times - it was a great day to stroll all around the city.

This year it seems as if Spring is more beautiful than ever!  Maybe - since it has been milder than usual - we are able to appreciate it a little more.

Dramatic Skies

All day today, the skies had a very dramatic look - the sun was in and out.  This allowed for some beautiful vistas of the spring-green grass and budding trees.
