strawberry fields…forever

Strawberry Fields in Central Park

In my walks, I pass through Strawberry Fields in Central Park at least three or four times a week.

Every passing brings a special moment.

Yesterday…as a ray of afternoon sun peeked through the trees…another magical moment experienced.

boat overturns in central park lake

helicopter rescue in Central Park

Well..wouldn’t you know it.  You go out for a little picnic and bubbly in Central Park to enjoy a little row boating and the whole world shows up.  Four helicopters and too many police squads and ambulances to mention…

Boat rescue in Central Park

Seems a couple had a little issue and capsized their boat.  So glad all was well except for some bruised egos perhaps?  Don’t know the details other than what I learned on the news…one was trying to retrieve an oar that fell into the water.

Other than that…a beautiful, peaceful picnic on a gorgeous spring afternoon…rowing across the 22-acre lake, the second largest water body in Central Park.

Cherry blossoms at Central Park Reservoir

Are you here in the city or thinking about dropping in over the next couple of days?  Well, I just returned from the west side of Central Park along side the Reservoir.  If you look real hard there are a few blooms amongst all the buds of a huge group of cherry trees.  But just you wait…in a couple of days it will be cherry jubilee!   Thank you Japan for the wonderful gift back in 1912!

P.S. Can’t make it?  Stay tuned…I’ll share in a few days!
