Central Park Moments

I love almost everything about New York City, but mostly, I love Central Park. The park is beautiful 24/7 and I can see the sky and feel the earth. Also, the park is always changing and only recently the icy lakes and snowy-leafless trees transformed into a colorful spring blossom. The huge flowers of the Magnolia trees are always a delight and the falling petals from the cherry trees add some magic to the atmosphere.

The park was deserted during the winter, but now it is packed with people, especially during the weekends. However, Central Park spreads on 843 acres, so it is fairly easy to find some hidden places in the park. Also, at night, the park is usually empty and this is a great opportunity to capture some of the park's landmarks, like this Bethesda Terrace.

For viewing spring flowers, Shakespeare Garden, is one of the best places. The garden is covered with flowers on different levels, from ground to tree-top. There I found: the pink flowers of the Magnolia, red tulips, white and yellow Daffodils, blue and purple Lilacs and many more flowers and colors.

The smell is absolutely intoxicating, so don't forget to stop and smell the flowers.
