Every year, the trees at the small park below our building bloom. For the few weeks this is happening, it's quite impressive.... then it gets messy ;-)
I also walked by Duane Street Park on my way home this afternoon. It's one of the oldest parks in New York City dating back to 1797 and just down the street from me. No blooms there yet. When the weather gets warmer, that's where you will find me some afternoons, sitting on a park bench sketching, sipping my Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino and having my way with a Taco Bell Crunchwrap Supreme. (Think "Joan Collins" in the taco episode, Season Two of Will and Grace.)

Hello James,
Nice Park with quite a history.
I'm reading a book right now, it's about the history of New York, its connection to the Netherlands(where i live), and the oyster banks that once existed in the Hudson.
It's great book, The Big Oyster: History on the Half Shell by Mark Kurlansky, maybe you've already read it (if not you certainly must!)
Greetings,
Gina Cohen
Thanks Gina,, yes, Duane park is a very elegant small "oasis" here in our neighborhood.
Very interesting about the oyster banks along the hudson. I really enjoy NYC history,, I will have to look "The Big Oyster" up.
thanks for the tip~!
James
