Early at Times Square

May 10, 2016 — Leave a comment

I was traveling with my sister for my first time to the Big Apple, New York City. I was  only going to one night as I was taking a late night bus Saturday morning and heading back Sunday night to not miss any work. The bus was ok but really cheap compared to others means of travel. We had arrived in the city before the stated time; 5:30am. We were able to walk over to Times Square that early on Saturday and it seemed like everyone was sleeping in. We had it all to ourselves and the overcast skies kept the sunlight out and the bright LCD/LED screens bright against the buildings and slightly damp sidewalk.

Blossom’s enjoyed at Maymont

I really enjoy spring. Winter is going into hiding, flowers and leaves are popping out. The weather turns nicer, slight chill in the morning with nice 70 degree weather around noon. It is great for working outside and also going about the city or anywhere outdoors to enjoy whats out there. The cherry trees at Maymont are really nice and they are view able just inside the gate. There was a nice old weeping cherry tree down by the pond in the Japanese garden but it was cut down this past summer for some reason and they replanted the same type of tree just significantly younger and shorter. Honestly the blossoms are nice in color if you have the nice deep pink flowers, these are white and they look great in monochrome as well.
