Just a Walk in the Park ...

The last few days have been very hectic and tiring and in complete contrast to my title.. :) I have just been trying to finish up all the challenges I have signed up for the month and do the write-ups before I leave on my three week long vacation to the other hemisphere!! I am super thrilled about the travel but getting through all the need to-dos before getting there is really tiring.. LOL, ok, I won't complain more.. I just keep thinking of warm, sunny beaches, sleeveless tops and short skirts.. that's gets me through. No pain, no gain.. eh?! :)

As it also happens, the last few days have been incredibly gorgeous.. bright and sunny with clear skies, chilly, yes, but not cold. In short, as Mr. FSK would put it, just the perfect weather to go for a long drive with the top down, which, lucky him did do! :)

As I worked away at the kitchen or sat at my desk thinking of words, I would sneak peaks at the adorably blue skies for inspiration to wrap up faster and get out and enjoy the sunshine and milder weather. I don't know if Spring is really getting here soon or it's a mirage, but I don't care, I am here now and if it gets colder, I'll be in a warm place then.. :D

So, yesterday, after running around most of the day within the house, I decided a walk in the park was in order. I love my neighbourhood. We are a short walking distance from literally everything - museums, prop stores, book stores and most importantly, Central Park and the gorgeous Jacquelin Kennedy Onasis Reservoir, which, satisfies the water needs of the city.

Sunset is one of the most beautiful times of the day, I think (I hear sunrise is gorgeous too, but that's wayy too early for me...). So, I took a stroll around then. It was gorgeous. I know my photos don't really do much justice but they were sights to be seen and enjoyed through the eyes rather than the lens :)

Cutest sign!


More food posts will be up... In the meantime, I'll leave you with random shots of my walk and wish you a fabulously pleasant weather!

Gorgeous pics! That one with the sunset is just absolutely stunning. It sounds like we have had the same kind of weather more or less the last couple of days. I love the sunshine; it makes me think of long warm summerdays and lazy days in the garden or the beach...Mmm... slightly envious of your trip now..!

am blown away with the black and white pictures! The first one is so beautiful and reminds me of my college back in India.. tall trees, benches, the street beside the Ganges.
