STOCKING
THE PARK WITH RABBITS - 1989
GUESS WHO? Warner Brother's biggest
star...but the Duck disagrees. Macys was flight
testing their brand new balloon a few days before the
Thanksgiving Day Parade.

BELVEDERE
CASTLE - 1988
Late in the day solitude...until
some crazy photographer appears on the scene. The
castle lies along side Belvedere Lake which is really a
misnomer.The lake is more of a pond. The miniature castle
actually gives the illusion that it is a larger structure
farther away, therefore making the pond appear as a
lake. This kind of brilliant landscape design is
typical of what you see all over Central Park. The
responsibility for the greatness of Central Park goes to
designers Calvert Vaux and Frederick Law Olmsted.

CONSERVATORY
GARDEN - 1992
It's springtime in Central Park.
The most wonderful place in the world for lovers of all
ages. Please don't pick the flowers.

THE LAKE - 1992
Being early in the
morning, they had not yet started to rent rowboats to the
Central Park visitors. In a few hours the lake will be
covered with rowboats.

RED
TREE - 1993
No! That isn't me in the photo. I don't know
what kind of tree this is but I am going to find out.
This picture was taken at the north west section of
Central Park's ramble area.
Herv� was kind enought to provide this
information on the red tree:
The tree is a japanese maple. They have a funny
5-pronged leaf that turns bright red, then almost purple
later in the fall.

IMAGINE
- 1985
I believe that this Imagine Mosaic was a
donation from the Italian government at the time of the
landscaping of Strawberry Fields. This is an area
of Central Park across from the Dakota Apartments where
John Lenon lived. John enjoyed strolling here all the
time. After his tragic death, the Lenon estate funded the
much needed landscaping of this area and the Parks
Department named it "Strawberry Fields." The
photograph was taken on the day that Strawberry Fields
was first opened to the public in October 1985.
