Spring in Sight

I look forward to the warm, sunny days of spring almost year round, and when those days arrive, I try my best to soak in every fleeting second of blossoming trees and sprouting flowers. Is it because these days are rare and short-lived that I love them so? Like birthdays, football games, vacations, time with a far-away friend, Girl Scout cookies - would these be loved as much if they could be enjoyed every day of the year? Or is it the anticipation, and then the need to savor the moment knowing the joy will soon be over?


Spring beauty at Stuyvesant Square Park as I walked home along 2nd Avenue from Lauren's new apartment.


Blossoming trees full of chirping birds at Stuyvesant Square Park.


The view along Central Park South is always beautiful, but it's particularly breathtaking when in bloom!


Tulips near Central Park...almost as perfect as the tulips in Holland.


A sidewalk tree box in the Upper East Side overflowing with flowers!


Park Avenue paradise.
