#Aprella #day2 #NewYork I love New York, it‘s one of the cities on my bucket list. There‘s so many amazing places to be found there but Central Park is the jewel in the crown. Ranging from lakes to ponds, meadows to wild bush, manicured flower gardens to even a castle! This book has the most beautiful photos of every aspect of the Park, in every season. Whether covered in snow, spring flowers, sun soaked grass or autumn colour, it shines.

emilyhaldi This book looks amazing! I wish I made it to Central Park more when I lived in the city but I never lived too close. It‘s a great place to spend your day wandering 🌳 7y
Mdargusch Looks like a beautiful book! 7y
Reviewsbylola Wow, love this book! 7y

#NuYear #day21 #DownInThePark I sorta have a bit of an obsession with Central Park in New York City. We have some beautiful parks here in Sydney, the Botanical Gardens, Hyde Park, just to name a few, but none are as big or as wild as Central Park still is. There are parts of it that are still untouched woodland that you would swear was miles from any city plus there‘s the waterfalls & ponds,the fountains,a castle & a storybook garden for the kids.

Cinfhen It is a magical place...thanks for the reminder❤️ 7y

#seasonsreadings2016 #day9 #fictionnonfictionpairings When I'm reading a really good book,I love being able to pinpoint exactly where it is the action is taking place.I used to use an atlas,but google maps is so much better now. This series by Linda Fairstein really brings Manhattan to life, to the point where I now have a NY obsession & this book about Central Park is so beautiful & informative it brings the Park features in this novel to life.

ScientistSam Linda Fairstein is fantastic! I love all the little stories I learn about Manhattan while still loving the characters and story of her books. 8y

#funfridayphoto I have always loved New York, even though I'm not American and I think Central Park is one of the most beautiful open spaces in the world. From lakes to children's gardens, meadows to woods and some seriously pretty waterways, New Yorkers are so lucky to be able to see this everyday. There's so many different aspects, and a part that shines in each season, don't get me started about when it snows😌❄️🌼🌞🍂

ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled I wish we could share photos! We have 2 small prints in our bedroom - Central Park in winter and Central Park in spring. ❤️ 8y
Lizpixie @ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled.com that would be awesome! There's a beautiful photo in the book of the bridge covered in snow😍 I'd love to live somewhere it snows, autumn & winter are my favourite seasons, it gets so hot here in spring/summer. We don't even have much of a spring it's like it jumps from jeans weather straight to oh my god, where's the air conditioning at🌞 8y
ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled Yeah, thats the same where I am too! Everyone's going on about pumpkin spice and I am about to take the kids to the pool. 🔥🔥🔥😰 8y
