Spring
This weekend, Park Slope was full of flowering dogwoods, forsythia, and Little Leaguers (Saturday was opening day). Miraculously, we got out of the apartment before noon each day.
We meant to do something active and impressive on Saturday -- we planned to walk the loop in Prospect Park -- but we ended up visiting La Bagel Delight and sitting down to breakfast at the first picnic table we found instead. Too full after that for a walk, we spread out on a blanket and dozed. Then, more in the mood for more food than exercise, we visited the farmer's market (picked up some wonderful bacon from Flying Pigs Farm) and the Coop.
Today, we managed to walk the loop but then ran into some friends and immediately counteracted any health benefits received from walking by eating at Cafe Steinhoff. Here are a few photos from the park:

Your pictures of these are so beautiful. I wish I could get that kind of close-up detail/background fuzzing (which I know is your lens), but you do such a good job of cropping in the frame. Gorgeous.

Thanks! The new camera makes it so much easier -- I think D's one-year-old nephew could probably take good pictures with it. The only problem is that it's big, so I don't take it out as much. Still -- it's an amazing camera. No delay at all, beautiful color, and a great lens.
