here are some pics from a stroll i took last month, when springtime was peaking and i was tickled to find a bunch “life” happening… ! 🙂
there are so many turtles around these parts!
tons of beautiful blooms, as well!
a dear friend of mine took me to this marvelous place a few years back and i fell in love. of course – autumn in new york is always amazing, even when it’s late autumn. the leaves had mostly fallen off at this point, but it created a blanket that covered the forest floor and there were traces of colour left on some of the trees. very enchanting, this place. i wasn’t sure if the blair witch was going to pop out and scare me or if fairies were going to come in and sweep me away to narnia…
the crispness in the air was memorable and the overcast lighting created a moody effect, so i snapped some artsy fotos with my iphone :
i’m visiting NYC in three days… and i actually kind of got a little nervous. for real legitimately nervous… what?! i lived in manhattan for 3 glorious years, and i ran the LES. why am i nervous?! it’s like i’m going to rekindle a former relationship or something. haha
i’m definitely bringing my camera with me, and although i won’t get up to bear mountain park {where these images were taken}, i do hope to catch a glimse of a few of these colours throughout central park or the like.
for now, i’ll share these with you… oh how i love the autumn!
