Easter in New York


Once again, I'm in New York.  In the city that never sleeps, the seasons influence the pulse and pace of outdoor activity.  The past Winter has been unusually harsh, and today in Central Park even though there was remnant snow on the ground and the tree branches were still naked, the crocus beds were blooming to signal the arrival of Spring and the promise of warm days ahead.


New Yorkers were out in droves, enjoying the sunny day despite a persistent chilling breeze, and taking part in the city's delightful Faberge Easter egg hunt - an exhibition of 260 Easter eggs decorated by famous artists and sprinkled across the city, waiting for children to find them.
