Yesterday was a simply gorgeous day in New York. A real SPRING day. The kind of day where you want to go out and play just like this funky band in Central Park is playing to the girl in the very French scarf.
PLAY BALL!
Where are the slides for grownups?
Where is our grownup sandbox?
The New York Times had an article on the importance of Taking Play Seriously By Robin Marantz Henig, particularly how play effects the developing child. But also how important play is for the adult. Play creates "one who believes in possiblilities - an optimist, a creative thinker, a person who has a sense of power and control."
This dog is showing great control as he waits to go play while his mistress gets a suntan...ahem
Snacks are play food aren't they? That hot dog's calories don't count! It's all imaginary.
These people are too busy to look in Bergdorf's playful windows - quelle triste.
Now this is playing - walzing along 5th Avenue on 57th Street - care free!
Here too in front of the Plaza Hotel - just enjoying the breeze...
Oooops! Rushing New Yorkers take no notice of the New York Public Library's lovely tulips.
Down in Union Square Farmers Market you can't neglect the tulips!
Nor the busy flower seller...
"Spring Cookies" in the Farmers Market.

"Spring Cookies" in the Farmers Market.So many playful shapes - butterflies, frogs, tulips, but I wish they were macarons...
Don't forget this Sunday is Earth Day in Central Park
Come out and play!
