My World Easter Sunday and a stroll through Central Park

Image
On Easter Sunday the baby got to open his first Easter present. Then we all went off to church down at W86th St. The kids came bounding in at the end waving banners while the congregation and the choir all sang the Hallelujah chorus from Handel's Messiah. The banner at the front of the church, is a very apt description of how this congregation sees it's role in the community. The flowers were very beautiful. I love the simple stained glass windows. After church, and fellowship over coffee afterward was over. we strolled over to Central Park...it was a little cool...should I say cold...with a nasty cold wind blowing, but we were well dressed for the weather, luckily! the spring flowers were looking gorgeous and the apartments too It seemed a great day for photography.. Here is a shot of the blossoms on the east side from the Jackie Onassis reservoir and the Guggenheim seems as if it is still under wraps...well, at least only the roof this time! And here we end our lovely walk in...

I will say this is the Day that the Lord has made...
