When You Can't Sleep, Go to Central Park

Norah and I took a walk in Central Park the other day. Mostly I wanted to take pictures of trees and do some general strolling in hopes that the wee one would zonk. I only got a half hour of nap out of her, but look at this haul of tree pictures:

This one has a couple in it hugging, so you know that it's good.

Oh yeah. This tree was a tree.

These are leaves. And some branches. Two main branches, really.

This one features a person with a dog and a biker. I won't tell you how many times I tried to take a picture with a pedestrian or biker perfectly spaced between trees on that back path. But the title might be 'Photo #7'.


This obelisk is 'Cleopatra's Needle,' given by Egypt as a gift to New York City and brought to us by Commodore William Vanderbilt. But that's just the short of it. Check out this interesting article about it. Norah just got ticked that she had to sit around. And so commences an eternal family dynamic: the dad reading about historical stuff while the kids get bored.
