Spring Blossoms

catching up... everything is starting to bloom
the tree down at the nature center is starting to bloom at last and the cherry tree on the corner backward somersaults at gym on the beam and certificates too more blooms around and about the children's garden at the hospital is all closed off due to big construction work in the park/garden...nice to be able to see it throught the windows! I noticed the dogwood flowering out there...very pretty and some of Mummy's very perfumed flowers....
My World Easter Sunday and a stroll through Central Park

Another walk in the park....I love the massive rocks that New York is built on. I find it so hard to photograph them to show their size. the squirrels are out ...this one was a black one...the ones I see are usually brown... We wandered through 103rd street to the station on Sunday coming back from church... I guess this is technically probably part of Harlem....
