A Late Afternoon in Central Park


When you are aspiring in the city that never sleeps, time goes by even faster than you could ever imagine. Summer is coming to an end and it will soon be time for stylish boots, scarves, and long sweaters over leggings. Lately, I have spent my time taking in every last ray of sunshine on Central Park’s green. Yesterday was such a beautiful day that by late afternoon I could stay in my apartment no longer and ventured to Central Park to read magazines and drink an iced coffee in the glorious weather. I even skipped the subway and walked the 20 blocks to my destination.

I could not have made a better decision.  The late afternoon sun was warm and welcoming not at all overbearing like it might have been at noon.  I sat there on a beach towel drinking a Starbucks and reading Ladies Home Journal felling like a true New York socialite.  I then decided that I needed to capture this wonderful moment for posterity.  Finding myself in the best of both worlds surrounded by trees and grass with beautiful buildings in the distance, I took out my camera and began snapping pictures of myself on the lawn.  A self-absorbed move?  Maybe.  But, I couldn’t be happier with how the pictures came out.  I guess even socialites can enjoy the simple pleasures of alone time. What do you do to get away without ever leaving home?
