The Spring Equinox occurred early this morning. We are now officially—although it’s felt like it already for weeks—into Spring!
Here’s a preview of coming attractions. These photos were taken in New York’s Central Park in 2007… in late April. This year we’ll probably see these fruit trees bloom in a week or two—almost a month earlier!
More photos from Spring 2007 are here.

Contrary to the Groundhog’s prediction (he is right only 39% of the time, after all), the season seem to be well advanced into Spring.
In New York City, temperatures are reaching into the 60s or even 70s each day. Crocuses and daffodils are out, two or three weeks earlier than usual. Even some fruit trees are beginning to flower in Central Park. Nobody expects Winter to come back any more.

With a white coat of freshly fallen snow hiding for the moment the drabness of winter, it was a bright, festive day in Central Park yesterday.

Everyone was out having fun!
Everyone was in a happy, outgoing mood. And so, more than usual, it was a day for getting together with other members of your species…

(Addendum and photos by Vladimir Brezina)
I’ve never had much of an “eye”, in the sense of being able to relate to things visually—or even notice them in the first place.
The opposite, in fact. I’m one of those people who can walk by a large object—say, a 60-story building—every day for a month before exclaiming, “Has that always been there? I’ve never seen it before!” And I’m perfectly sincere: I really haven’t noticed it. I think in terms of narratives, not pictures—and I often fail to see what’s literally right in front of my nose.
