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.
New Yorkers try to beautify their street. I do it in my TREE PITS.
This spring I chose white.

CENTRAL PARK in the Spring.

I love it………..Springtime!
BETHESDA FOUNTAIN.………Angel of the Waters………rising from Bethesda Terrace………..created by Emma Stebbins…………the first woman to ever received a public art commission in New York City.
The CONSERVATORY GARDEN in Central Park is at it’s most beautiful in Spring. It is divided into three gardens……..Italian, French and English. Two exquisite allées of pink and white crabapple trees.
A 12 foot fountain plays on the western lawn………tiered hedges lead up to the wisteria pergola . The Burnett memorial fountain is a stature of two children by the sculptor Bessie Potter Vonnah. The Three Dancing Maidens fountain is by Walter Schott. The magnificent gate leading into the park is from the Vanderbilt mansion.

Some graffiti…….a Nespresso cup in their window………nude lady’s butt for sale in a gallery on Madison. Magenta may be a new trend!
