Parks on Parks

I went for a walk down by the park next to the park next to the park next to the park next to the river.  It was lovely - blah blah blah - as expected.  You can just glimpse the river through the trees if you zoom in all the way.

But there was something I just wasn't seeing at first.

There was another layer of park.  Yup.  This is the park, next to the park next to the park next to the park next to the park next to the river.

5 parks.  Separated only by roads.  But that tiny bit of separation is enough to give them all their own little names and plaques.  Some of them you can walk through on paths, others you can only view from behind an ironwork fence.

When I look out my office window I only see the trees and the river - not all of this separation of park-age.  (Yes, river view office.  I know! Right!?)

And on the few days that I actually make it outside during working hours to actually walk, I usually don't go over to the park(s).  So I never really noticed.

But there you have it.  A park, next to the park next to the park next to the park next to the park next to the river.

New York - Go figure.

Storm Is Coming

Part of me is loving the storms coming through because each one is bringing Spring closer - the other part of me is cold, wet and so tired of no sunshine.

The part of me that is cold and wet is a lot bigger than the part that is loving the storms.

Okay.  Much better now.

Pink Sky

Sometimes you just can't help yourself and this is one of those times.  I was tossing my coat on to head out the door on the way to the train when I happened to glance out the window and saw the awesome pinks in the sky above the Hudson.

Normally heading out of the office is a stress inducing moment in my day.   Did I grab everything I need to grab to get done tonight?  Can I finish enough to get out on time?  Will the elevator hit every floor on the way down?  Where did I put my truck keys?  Do I have my train ticket?  Will I make the bus or do I have to run 2 miles - again?  What's the traffic like?  Is the train running on time?  Where are my keys!?

Then I saw this sky.  And I stopped.  And I looked.  And everything was calm.

I had to grab my camera so I could share it with you.  It was just so pretty.

I think it looks like a mix of cotton candy and a pink diamond.  Or in other words - everything that is right with the world.

Found my keys.

Very nice. Very nice indeed.
