Skywatch Friday more NYC

More Skywatch
I was looking out from inside Central Park the Dakota on the left and caught a bit of the Park beauty w/ the building's presence.

A colorful Spring Sunset caught on the way into the theater. (soc)This glimpse of sky between the buildings surprised me in the midst of the street cacophony, that is NYC, I had a moment of peace.

My sister finding joy in the moment at the reservoir in the Am --I so get the absolute need and draw of this beautiful oasis that is Central park.

I love the Cafe des Artistes. I discovered it a couple of years ago, and it is one of the few places in New York that does not feel like that cookie cutter nouveau riche kind of place. The food is amazing, the chef was on Top Chef I always take out of towners here because it is the kind of place you cannot find anywhere else."

My world Ruby Tuesday and Macy's NYC Flower Show



My World
and Ruby Tuesday

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


to see this

there was something for everyone
