Snow Day

Yesterday I took lots of pictures of New York in the snow. Snow in New York doesn't stay beautiful for long, but when it's new, it's stunning.

Polar bears in the park

The park was packed with tons of kids sledding and building snowmen.

And then my camera died. But my cell phone came to the rescue with decent, albeit low-resolution, pictures:

Upper West Side

Columbus Circle

This snowman was part of a trio, and he even had sunglasses on.

The line for horse and carriage rides was about a block long!

Central Park pond by 5th Avenue

You'll also notice that I changed the picture behind the title page. I've changed it around a few times recently but I think I'll stick with this one until winter's over. Happy Solstice - from now on the days will be getting longer again!
