After a long, harsh winter, as is the case in so much of the country, it's exhilarating to see the first sign of Spring. Growing up, I didn't love Spring that much. It usually didn't last very long and it was just a waiting game between the last of the snow melting and summer starting... But Spring in New York City is different. It lasts just a little bit longer, and the flowering trees all over the city and especially in Central Park are breathtaking.
If you are visiting New York City, you must visit Central Park in the next week or two. Or if you live in the city and don't get out to the park much (like those living downtown), it's worth the trip! The reservoir in the middle of the park is surrounded by an arching pathway of magnificent cherry blossoms and in other parts of the park, you can find magnolia trees, tulips, lilies of the valley, daffodils, violets, forsythia and bunches of wisteria hanging from the pergolas...
Here are some pictures from the last couple of weeks as the weather has gotten warmer, flowers have bloomed and trees have begin to bud.
