Local Art Fridays: Central Park in Spring

We're having a major snowfall here today. I'm not complaining. It's really the first significant snowfall of this winter. I'll start complaining later when it turns to sleet and rain. I hate that.

Still, snowfall in late February somehow turns one's thoughts to Spring -- especially since I'm not going to get my 3-mile walk in at lunchtime, and Easter is only a little more than 4 weeks away. A lot of times my walk encompasses portions of Central Park, which, as all 843 acres were designed by Olmstead & Vaux, is a work of art in and of itself.

Walking down the path from 59th Street towards the Zoo is a pleasant way to spend time:

And just past the Zoo, we have the dancing bear:

Dancing Bears always make me think of Spring.
