central park covered in snow...

Both Friday and Saturday I had the opportunity to witness Central Park covered in a blanket of white, fluffy snow.  Friday, I walked through the park in the evening- it was like a totally different world.  Everything was covered in snow and when the light hit it just right, the park looked like it was glowing.  Robyn and I took a stroll through the park trying to take pictures- unfortunately they didn't come out so well because our flashes are so small- but here are some just so you can see for yourself...
Wohlman Rink in Central Park

The Park was glowing!

On Saturday, since the trees were still covered in snow- I ventured back to the park to get some better pictures during the day time.  It was gorgeous- it's a tie between loving Central Park in the warm weather or when it's covered in snow.  I was completely frozen, but it just looked so beautiful.  You almost forgot you were in the middle of the busiest city in the U.S!! There weren't as many people walking through the park, but most of the visitors were sledding or cross country skiing or running.  It was almost peaceful- and did I mention beautiful?

looks like a movie!!

So there you have it- Central Park in January; visually stunning, tranquil, white, absolutely beautiful... what do you all think?

It was the perfect day for pictures- maybe the snow is good for one thing!
