I was at Union Square and the outdoor Holiday market was being dismantled.  A sure sign that Christmas is over.  It was a relatively warm day too.  The birds were out and about looking for food and feasting on whatever was on the lawn.  

The lady with blue hair is my favorite picture of the day!

We were in Central Park to go for a ride in the row boats.  It was a humid day - surprisingly.  The weather has been really pleasant - not humid.

The Park was full of people today - also surprised.  I thought people would have left for the long weekend.  The lake was especially crowded.  There were many inexperienced rowers in the lake getting in our way or seconds from ramming into us.  Luckily, Thomas is very experienced and out maneuvered these wanna-be rowers.

The lake was also very green.  Some of it was algae, and there was something else in the water.  Little leafy things.  We didn't know what they were but it almost covered the lake.  I thought they were kind of pretty until we rowed into a part of the lake that had a heavy layer of these teeny leafy things.  It made the lake look kind of swampy.

AH! It was a wonderful warm day. It is starting to feel like Spring. The flowers are blooming from trees and the birds are chirping. Take a look at these pictures.

The day was not best but not the worse. I was walking down LaGuardia Place and passed the public garden and some birds were hanging out. Doves and sparrows.

Lunch was grilled chicken over a bed of greens! Real delicious! Check it out!

Today was a rather hectic work day so I was so glad to step out during my lunch hour. It was a cold day but refreshing. I walked down LaGuardia Place where I could not resist taking pictures of the puffy sparrow hanging out a dried plant in the public garden. They were chirping happily. They are so cute, and so fluffy and they just looked so warm. They looked like tiny round women in their fur coats! And not too far were some doves hanging out on some rocks. They looked really cozy! As I approached down West Broadway, I noticed some flashing lights ahead. There were some firetrucks and a ladder stretching to the top of the building. There wasn't a fire but I don't know what the commotion was about. In any case, it was exciting to see firemen in action. I love the FDNY! Who doesn't?

Today when I stepped out to lunch I was inspired by the incredible details of our New York City architecture. I work in the Soho Greenwich East Village area. I'm not to far from Union Square either. Not only did I capture some interesting details, I also captured some nice shots of doves sunbathing on some rocks in the private neighborhood garden along LaGuardia Place.

Well, today was a better day for picture taking. I was at the Union Square Green Market; always a great place for picture taking. Lots of apples and pumpkins and succulents, oh my! They were mainly snap shots. Take a look. I also took some pictures of sparrows frolicking at a nearby willow tree.
