A stroll in CENTRAL PARK today

After lunch at the boat house we strolled over to theBethesda Fountain……and met this sweet couple from Australia………..Jayde and John.  She has been to NYC four times……..this is John’s first visit.

The weather was fantastic.  The geese…….the tulips…..the sketch artists………the “bubble boy”………the brides…….the turtles……….and thousands of tourist……….all enjoying Central Park.

NYC has BUDDED and BLOOMED

CENTRAL PARK is ablaze with blossoms…….Cherry and Apple.

Artists capture the beauty………

The ELDORADO TOWERS get a great view of the reservoir.

Spring has Sprung in NYC today

It was a 76º day in NYC.  I decided to do a “beach” lunch and pretend I was on Sanibel Island in Florida.

I met a nice family from Sweden this morning at Tavern on the Green in Central Park.  I wish I had invited them to lunch.

The green fish water pitcher…a gift from Margo…..it “gurgles” when you pour!

Platter from Bonwit Teller.

TUNE SALAD with watercress.

Okra….grapes and blue cheese.

Flowers from my local florist.

Lunch at the MET MUSEUM

One of the benefits of membership in the Met Museum is eating in the members dining room.  Pleasant space……….beautiful views over the  treetops of Central Park.

The plating of the food is beautiful…….the taste is beautiful…..the champagne is beautiful……….life is beautiful………until the check arrives………

SNOW DAY in New York…was a BLIZZARD

We did NOT get the predicted 24″ of snow………..just a nice dusting……..as you can see in these watercolors. BUT….tomorrow it will be dirty nasty grey sludge.

The Dakota Apartments at Central Park West and 72s street………….and the benches just inside the park.

FRIENDS dropped in today………

They were in town on a “Spring Break” from collage………so it was a quick in and out……then they were off to STRAWBERRY FIELDS in Central Park.

The John Lennon Memorial in Central Park.  YOKO called it “strawberry Fields”.
