This month, the weather here in NYC has finally calmed down and we’ve had many beautiful afternoons filled with sunshine.  I live next to Central Park, so I go there often with a picnic lunch or Starbucks and a book to relax, people watch, and get my toes in the grass.  Come take a little stroll through the park with me 🙂

 

 

Psst!  Now that you’ve finished taking a walk with me in the West Village, go check out the next photographer in our group’s take on the “30 minutes” project! All the way from Naples, Italy and less than a month after giving birth to her adorable son, check out Amanda Voelker’s photos!

    Great photo’s Colleen. I really need to take a trip up there and have you be a tour guide for me – one day :). My favorite is the bridge but I also love the couple on the bench and the sunlight on the table displaying frames. Thanks for sharing just another place I need to visit.

    Oh Colleen. Every time I see your images I want to pick up the fam and move to New York so I can take pictures all day, every day. *sigh* These are fantastic, as usual. I especially love the b&w of the two people walking off toward the trees, down the cobblestone sidewalk. Just perfect. <3

    Oh how lovely to live right by there! I really enjoyed our stroll 😉 You got so many great shots! That one of the couple in the spot of light is award winning and the garbage cans with the dog plus all the rest! So awesome Colleen. xo
