Spring arrived a bit early this year...
And boy, is it beautiful!
(SFS totally agrees with me!)
I could hardly believe it, but the temperature hit some lovely digits on Saturday afternoon, necessitating a stroll in Astoria Park, the lovely bit of land along the East River.
From the park, you can look directly over to Manhattan... see the skyline way back there?
As you can imagine, we weren't the only ones out and about on such a gorgeous afternoon... here's a shot along the waterfront.
This is the underside of the Hell's Gate Bridge.
It was completed in 1916- almost a hundred years later it still looks pretty good!
As we walked we spotted some local wildlife, out for a late lunch of algae... YUM!
Meanwhile, I wore a tank top for the first time this year and didn't get any sunburn... YAY!
SFS carried the camera for a while, and took some really interesting shots- from garbage...
To things a little more artistic- including this shot through my earring!
I was so glad to see so many people enjoying the lovely weather...
Like all these peeps in line for Mr. Softee (that's what our ice cream trucks are called in NYC).
So with a sky full of sunshine...
And a beautiful view...
SFS spent our first spring-like afternoon is idyllic bliss!
Followed promptly by the rainstorm we're expecting for tomorrow! :)Thanks for joining me on this little stroll through my neighborhood- I hope you had a wonderful weekend!!
