Naturally New York: Part 1 (Bryant Park and The High Line)

Spring in New York City is just as fabulous as everyone promised.  
The parks were colored with every shade of flower imaginable, and birds were endlessly serenading the passersby.  


Our first park of this trip was Bryant Park to see the Kelpies.  
What a nice surprise to have such gorgeous flowers everywhere, too!


If you are not careful, the Kelpies will steal you away!  Eek!


But we got away safely and headed to the Easter Bonnet Parade on 5th Avenue, then to see Newsies.

After the show, we headed to The High Line.  
I'd been wanting to visit this park for a while, and some friends suggested walking The High Line and finding dinner nearby.  
What a great plan! 


While we were waiting for our friends, we watched the birds flitting in the trees, finding snacks here and there.

All kind of birds. 

And then we started walking.

Spring truly has started here, even though it's still a bit more chilly than down south.




A treat from The High Line was a lovely view of  Lady Liberty!


And then the sun set, and we wandered back down to the streets for the most delicious pasta in the city.
