Sunday In The Park With Swing

I was passing through Washington Square Park on Sunday and heard a New Orleans-style jazz band whipping up some swing for a gorgeous spring day. There were also a couple dancers who were cutting some concrete with some pretty sweet moves. They were amateurs but definitely a lot more entertaining than the usual jugglers, showmen and folk singers that populate the center of the Park. A lovely diversion on an April afternoon....

A Sign of Spring

Spring seems to be running about two weeks behind here in NYC this year, as this week's weather has all too achingly confirmed. But my personal first sign that Spring is imminent has arrived; it's the flowering of the apple blossom tree right outside my kitchen window. It's a beautiful thing to see so I made a movie out of it to share it with y'all.

So, without further ado, a touch of Spring on the street where I live. Enjoy!
