So we went to the park - along with almost everyone else in town.
The young man just learning to walk.....
And the young woman taking photographs.........
The architectural bits are very picture -skew as one of our children used to say.
I don't think the swan was very impressed by these two young girls and their dogs.
The park is a good place to read the paper.......
.............or play music........
..........but most people wandered about.........
.........and eventually had to go home.
ps. this entry goes against my usual principles. I try to keep them to 5 pictures or fewer.
Since I have the attention span of a flea, I get tired reading long, long posts.
Once someone posted a list of 100 things she intended to do........I lasted about 15.....
Obviously, blogs are utterly personal and we all have very different tastes.
Thoughts?
Lots of folks out enjoying the day.
ReplyDeleteI'm on your side - keep it short!
ReplyDeleteSunday was beautiful and I love that you captured all the people trying to take it all in.
ReplyDeleteAs far as blogs go, I like all kinds. I like long and short, pictures and no pictures, family-centered and not so much, intellectual or just silly. I love variety.
These were lovely pictures, so I didn't get bored, but I know what you mean. I try to keep mine short and sweet. I always find myself skimming through bloggers' long posts, without actually reading them. (shh, don't tell)
ReplyDeleteNow that's a great day out...wonderful to see many enjoying themselves...and beauty of a day too! Happy week, Elizabeth ((HUGS))
ReplyDeleteSweet compositions, love the one with the woman in the red coat.
ReplyDeleteHaha...Elizabeth, I just posted a LONG one and was wondering if anyone will fall asleep reading my post, but do forgive me, I am a lazy blogger as I cramp everything into one post, instead of a few posts..maybe I should :D However, I love love pictures as I can see many without any problems...as long as it's not reading pages off Shakespeare on one post. Beautiful outing for sure :D
ReplyDeleteI would so love to be in NYC and have the ability to visit the park. We have another gorgeous day here. I was thinking of Grandma. I should give her a call, but it makes me kind of sad. Love you and Uncle R.
ReplyDeleteFabulous photos, I love posts with lots of photos. I so agree with you about attention span, I have none either, that is why my posts are usually quite short, and on one subject. I so enjoyed seeing Sunday in the Park, yesterday we had the rain, today we have sunshine just like this. My granny used to say picture-skew too! x
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of everyone rushing outdoors to catch the sun . . . the photograph of all of men on the bench particulary amused me.
ReplyDeleteAs for post length, I am feeling a little worried that mine are on the long and boring side! But I mostly agree with Alyson: it depends. I'm sure we could all do with judicious editing.
I came here via Edward and Willow; I'm glad I did. So much to enjoy, I will have to call again...
ReplyDeleteI like this blog. I really enjoyed looking at folk enjoying themselves in Central Park. A picture is worth a thousand words, as they say!
ReplyDeleteI'm not usually tolerant of pictures unless they are of your quality! I'm afraid I'm guilty of being a bit too prolix in my blog, though even I would baulk at 100 things to do! But then I don't do pictures!
ReplyDeleteI agree-- I tend to like shorter posts. One reason being it hurts my eyes to read on-screen too long. But it is interesting to see what people make of their blogs...
ReplyDeleteI hope to someday visit New York. One of my first stops will be Central Park. Beautiful photos!

Funny, I just mentioned that Sunday was a better day to go to the park. Glad you got to go. Those are all lovely photos You're right -- blogs are definitely personal. ;-)

I presume this is Central Park! We went there once but we'd both just had all our travel documents stolen (in Florida) so it's all a bit of a blur. Sometimes I love lingering over blogs; sometimes I dash through them. So all are welcome.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pictures, I'm longing for a beautiful day in Central Park now, the main thing I miss about not living in the city.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind lots of photos with captions such as this post, it tells a wonderful story. What I don't like is so much text that I have to scroll, scroll, scroll. I don't have the attention span either. Short and snappy, paragraph or two is best
My thoughts are that my long-winded posts must send you into a deep deep sleep ;)
ReplyDeleteThe park pics are lovely. I wish I could hear the music the man on the bench was playing. He looks so happy. It may even been awful music but at least it makes him happy playing it :)
Oh look at that! Even my comments are long-winded. Wakey wakey! Hope you're having a great week :)
Oh, that is the perfect fall day! Such a sky. And, such glorious colour! Bravo!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos of this pretty park.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the short posts although lots of photos I quite enjoy. A long written post - not so much :)
I prefer to keep it short...but when it's pics of the park, I could scroll down for hours. Thanks for bringing me old memories of NY in the fall.
ReplyDeleteAh, I must take the train in a go to Central Park soon to get soem photos of the trees before they lose their leaves! It seems the trees all turned in one weekend -- they were all green here in Brooklyn last week and now are all ablaze.
