Central Park

On the way back from Florida I deliberately built a decent layover in New York City as I wanted to do a couple of things, including replace my one and only pair of trousers. This was a stunning success, and I pushed the boat out and bought two pairs which should see me good for years. In the knowledge of a fine deed done I made my way to 72nd street on the C train, which is the closest stop to the most interesting part of Central Park, the Ramble. It was great to be back, I love NY and hadn't been here since 2011, although that had been later in the spring. 

Spring wasn't very much in evidence, with large piles of snow still lying in some parts, and the winter feeding stations still very much in action. Luckily I had planned ahead and had some warmer clothes - you can see why Florida is so popular during Spring Break! Anyhow, here are a few photos from a pleasant few hours before I had to head back to JFK for the overnighter back home.
