Bridge in Central Park
This shot was taken from Central Park South, looking into the park. Moments after I took the photo, a bird pooped on my face and on top of my long camera lens. Did I burst out singing “I love New York!” ? No, but my son said it was time to stop taking pictures.
This post is both for Louis La Vache’s bridge meme and for Weekend Reflections:

Love your gorgeous capture! And I can understand why your son felt it was time to go -- nothing like pooping birds to mess up the face AND the camera! No place like New York, Central Park and pooping birds!! Haven't been there in a long time, thanks for the memories! Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!

My kids see my camera and start to groan. For them, it means mom is straying and taking too long to look at the scenery...
G6 says
I absolutely love this photo...
Possibly in part, because I love the place.
I love to go out on the lake at take photos juxtaposing the wonderful natural beauty with the New York skyline behind.
We should definitely meet for rowing!
leoraw says
Oh, I prefer boating in New Jersey, New Hampshire, upstate New York or Vermont - I get into New York City once a year to see the parade, and then I rarely come back. I'm not a big city person.

LOL on your son's comment. I agree.

Your Central Park shots remind me of films that have scenes there.

One thing about New York: it looks pretty, but it often doesn't smell so nice. I wouldn't want to post the smell.

Have I seen this bridge in a movie somewhere? Love the ivy on the bridge! Hope both you and your camera recovered from the bird poop ;D
Louis la Vache says
What a fine contribution to Sunday Bridges, Leora! «Louis» is delighted that you joined - but he's very sorry to read that you were bombed by a bird while getting the shot! The things we endure in the line of duty!

What a beautiful shot in NY. I love how the bright clothing on the right are reflected in the water. I always enjoy Central Park when I visit my sister who lives in Manhattan.
