NYC’s Central Park, during yesterday’s snowstorm…
(click on any photo to start slideshow)
The bridle path under snow
At the Reservoir
The blue umbrella
Gnarled trunks of the cherry trees capture the snow
The park looks pretty empty
… except, of course, for a photoshoot!
Lying in wait
Kids and dogs are having fun
Police car cruises through the snow
Red and blue on white
The white umbrella
That’s where Midtown Manhattan usually is…
Park benches under snow
A few brown leaves still hold on
Graceful shapes on the Great Lawn
Snow-covered bushes
The lamps are coming on
The purple umbrella
Under the arch
Zigzag path
A good day for a bike ride
The snow creates grotesque shapes
At the Lake, a view of the West Side
Brown bush among the trees
Ice sculptures!
Posing among the sculptures
Getting low for the best shot
Matching in pink
Dogs doing what dogs do
The yellow umbrella
Another photoshoot!
The yellow umbrella at the Mall
Going sledding
Dog walk with matching outfits

The splashes of color really make these photos come alive. This was a fun “snow day” visualization – especially since it was 60 degrees here in Colorado yesterday. :)

I often think people in NYC choose their umbrellas to show off—and they sure did on this day :-)

Looks like a serious storm, that one! Blowing sideways! The last photo is so quintessential New York – umbrella as snow protection, the rather nice looking red coat, and of course, the cute pooches with their pink coats!

They weren’t much protection to their owners against the snow blasting them almost horizontally in the stiff wind—but they were very decorative! :-)

Supposedly Central Park got 11 inches, but it doesn’t feel like that much. I remember some much bigger snowstorms. But (for NYC) it is pretty cold!!

No, the yellow umbrella was following me! Or rather, we were both going the same way (from the Bethesda Fountain up the steps to the Mall), like almost everyone there…
