Taking a break from domestic chores, Donna Mae Moose, visiting from Virginia Friday-Wednedsay, and I ventured to Central Park on Monday, including a visit to the zoo, which I had never done in 14 years as a New Yorker. Weather was absurdly perfect: high 70s, at last, with trees in full bloom, and after so much rain in the past couple weeks, the park was a carpet of green. Our leisurely walk ended up a four-hour venture—pretty much the perfect way to meander amid beauty when time holds no meaning... Ah, a perfect day, indeed.
Perfect timing, with the trees blossoming.
Mae Moose & meese
So as we reached Bethesda Fountain, a movie was being filmed with a July 4th theme... including dozens of extras... an Abe Lincoln, George & Martha Washington and here, Lady Liberty.
...And Uncle Sam, with a smile...
...And the entire spectacle.
Let the music play...
...And play...
At last in full springtime bloom. Love how the foliage cradles the classic walkway in Central Park.
Two modes of transportation in Central Park... the traditional New York taxi, alongside the classic horse-drawn carraige. Note the purple hooves on this diva. Love!
To the Central Park Zoo! Wow, it's, um a red bird with a cool beak...
Turtles en masse.
Colorful pea...cock.
How's your peepaw?
Goat, with oddly human expression, yes?
Ensemble...
The beautiful male species hetero erectus.
Central Park's Great Lawn, full of beautiful young people without their shirts on... um, no, what I meant to say is, green grass and trees in bloom. You betcha.
