Thursday I leave early and go to Physical Therapy. My frozen shoulder is very much improved. I pretty much have full motion. If I can just avoid being arrested and being thrown up against a wall with my left arm bent behind my back and lifted, I should be okay.
I walk over nine miles. It's cold (low 40's), but walking in this weather for me is pretty perfect.
Today I walk to the American Folk Art Museum. It's small, and someplace I've never been. I'm there to see a photography exhibit of self-taught artists. It's interesting, but not interesting enough that I'd recommend it.
It's sunny, mid 50's, and NY appears to have awakened from a long COVID hibernation. The park is flooded with people. And many aren't wearing masks.
A few months ago I would have been annoyed, but not today. Inside people still wear masks, but outside, socially distanced? It kind of feels like hope.
There are small and large groups everywhere.
It's a beautiful late afternoon.
The trees are still showing no sign of spring...
but that's okay; because the people are.
I agree that low 40s is "the" perfect temperature for walking, especially with bright sunshine. And even with no leaves on the trees, there is still that look of spring; must be the higher angle of the sun, and as you said, all the people out and about.
ReplyDeleteAnd definitely, it's feeling much different from last year at this time!
Lyn, that is a spectacular photo of Central Park Reservoir, with the sun shining down in streaks! Thank you for sharing not only your flair for writing, but photography too!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Carol. Photo was actually taken at the Bow Bridge, not the reservoir. Walking around The Ramble is my new favorite place, having discovered it (after all this time) just recently.
