After seeing the beauty in Central park and the walk back (like these red tulips) We got dressed (they all made fun of my glasses and said they looked like Elton John what do you think?) Oh well they broke anyway?
we hopped on the subway
headed downtown
in the shadow of the empire State building
we were excited to go to the Macy's flower show in NYC which was April 5-19 and just stunning the theme was based around this beautiful pink Flamingo We walked in under this
Those Flamingos are stunning! The Spring flowers arrived in the nick of time - although warm now, winter memories still linger. The look of Spring is as important as the temp...

Thanks Marcia to share that display. These beautiful flowers scultures are shown temporarily, so many of wouldn't have the opportunity to watch that. I less than others ! Those flamingoes are so delicate and graceful. I love what you've done with the head wearing a wig. This finger under the chin makes all the difference. And those are glasses to be watched as well as to watch with. Have a nice day.
I used to love the Macy's flower show. Have to say that the subway - the city itself - looks cleaner than I remember it from my years living there. Great series of shots. Thanks for giving me a nice visit to my old home.

I am often asked to describe the experience of raising a child with a disability - to try to help people who have not shared that unique experience to understand it, to imagine how it would feel. It’s like this… When you’re going to have a baby, it’s like planning a fabulous vacation trip - to Italy. You buy a bunch of guide books and make your wonderful plans. The coliseum. The Michelangelo David. The gondolas in Venice. You may learn some handy phrases in Italian. It’s all very exciting. After months of eager anticipation, the day finally arrives. You pack your bags and off you go. Several hours later, the plane lands. The stewardess comes in and says, “Welcome To Holland”. “Holland?!?” you say, “What do you mean “Holland”??? I signed up for Italy! I’m supposed to be in Italy. All my life I’ve dreamed of going to Italy” But there’s been a change in the flight plan. They’ve landed in Holland and there you must stay. The important thing is that they haven’t taken you to a horrible, disgusting, filthy place, full of pestilence, famine and disease. It’s just a different place. So you must go and buy new guide books. And you must learn a whole new language. And you will meet a whole new group of people you would never have met. It’s just a different place. It’s slower-paced than Italy, less flashy than Italy. But after you’ve been there for a while and you catch your breath, you look around…and you begin to notice that Holland has windmills…Holland has tulips. Holland even has Rembrandts. But everyone you know is busy coming and going from Italy…and they’re all bragging about what a wonderful time they had there. And for the rest of your life, you will say “Yes that’s where I was supposed to go. That’s what I had planned”. And the pain of that will never, ever, ever, ever go away…because the loss of that dream is a very significant loss. But…if you spend your life mourning the fact that you didn’t get to Italy, you may never be free to enjoy the very special, the very lovely things…about Holland.

I didn't know Macy's had a flower show... I'll have to check it out next time I am there.
These are beautiful photos, and the street scenes reminds me of NYC where I used to work for 3 years a long time ago.
