I think I'll keep this as a a bit of a theme ...see how it changes every now and then. I was a bit slow at photographing a lovely cherry blossom tree as I changed terminals at LA. What a shame. They are definitely not out here yet. Won't be that long I think. I wonder which will come first the blossoms or the baby?

We had a few gray skies in New York this week. These photos were taken on Riverside Drive and approximately W90th street. Apart from some rainy times this week, there have also been some great New York blue skies! Above, Chapel, Columbia Presbyterian Medical School, Washington Heights. blossoms in Inwood Park, New York. and some daffodil skies from Inwood Park again. The Cloisters were arising from the fog at the end of the street. Almost a European scene this morning here in Inwood, NY. And a flock of birds startled me as I was walking the baby this morning! I just love this photo as the sun was shining through the leaves of the tree. I hope you have enjoyed your stroll with me through some of the streets and parks of New York.

Today we went for a walk down to Riverside Drive after church, and had a little picnic in the park. The flowers are just starting to bloom. This wonderful pink blossomed tree. Is this what they call the cherry blossoms I wonder? and I think these are called crocuses! and it looked a bit like someone might have planted this azalea. It seems a bit early to me, but maybe not here? And of course there was this little stand of daffodils flowering also...again, the only ones I have seen fully out yet here in NY...but then I haven't been around very far yet... these little ones might have been crocuses in Inwood park a day or so ago.... And this latest bunch from Riverside drive yesterday was just spectacular!
