After two days of rain and wind and storm in March we finally got a sunny
day, and I headed up to Central Park.
I was hoping to find the first of the spring flowers (even though it's not
yet spring), but there was very little to be seen — not a daffodil
nor a crocus in sight.
The magnolias were not even starting to bud, but a couple of trees had
some very small yellow flowers that I could not identify.
There's plenty more to photograph in Central Park of course, so I just
wandered around snapping whatever took my interest.
This is the eclectic set of shots that I ended up with.
