Central Park, March 2008

OTHER PAGES:
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.
