monday monologue: waterfall hunting

Ok

 sunblock - check  

comfy shoes - check 

camera - check 

ToonMan - check 

Have you all had your morning java or tea?  

And have you gone to the loo?  

The sounds of rushing water water falling can have its effect

Here we go

Because we're us 

(okay because I am me) 

we took a cab up to 100th Street and Central Park West 

armed with directions 

printed from the Central Park website 

(and as back-up a nifty Central Park app for the iPhone) 

ToonMan led the way with me saying 

shouldnt we be walking in this (the opposite) direction 

(yes, Lauren, I know I tend to get turned around)

But 

as we walked 

I could hear the 

water 

While I was snapping away 

ToonMan 

continued to walk 

following the printed directions 

toward this little bridge

Looking 

down 

and 

across

  we could see this

We kept walking 

through the overpass

across another bridge

to find this

We kept walking following the water

to this

this robin 

actually 

waited as I got the camera ready

it was almost 3 pm 

when we headed back 

out of what the directions said 

were 

the North Woods

I had no idea there were North Woods in the Park

the light was kind of magical

no long post, 

dear patient reader, 

would be complete 

without the money shot

this single orange beauty

some sort of lily
