Walk #1 - Autumn in Central Park

I did a solo walk today in the Southern end of Central Park.  Well, that's if you don't count Patrick, who had a blast bopping around the park!  It was a great walk but I wasn't dressed in enough layers to stay out as long as I had hoped.  Also, Patrick refused to wear his backpack today, so I just dumped my water bottle, doggy water bowl, iPod, and phone in my purse, which turned out to be a total pain in the neck.  Next time, one or both of us is bringing a backpack!

On our way to the park I couldn't stop smiling after we saw this guy toting a wheel-cart full of boxes down the street like any old New Yorker:

I was an avid LOST fan, even through the poorly written seasons so it was a nice start to the walk to see Mr. Emerson hoofing it in my very own neighborhood!

Patrick and I walked, climbed, and rested in the park.  I was surprised at how many people were out and as I walked around looking for interesting photo ops we stumbled upon a number of lovey-dovey couples as well!  Below are the photos I took while we were out!



I rode this carousel with my campers this summer.  Today Patrick and I climbed the rocks behind it -- I love the combination of elements in this view!

The bridges in Central Park are so beautiful!

Gotta love the fall colors!

Notice the city peaking through!


Under a bridge -- I think this is my favorite photo from today!

The ING marathon is tomorrow -- good luck to those who have been training for it!!


We walked past Lincoln Center on the way home and stumbled on the circus!
All in all, a good start to this project!  Next Saturday, 11/13: I'm meeting my friend Nancy for coffee and a walk near the Brooklyn Bridge!  If you want in on the walk part, you'll need to give me a call!
