Nourishing My Heart With Early Spring Views of NYC

Posted on April 28, 2011 by merylchodoshweiss | 4 comments

I enjoy living on the East Coast because I love the changes that each season brings.

In the past I’ve shown you views of gorgeous autumn and winter holiday dress up windows (not exactly weather related.. next year I’ll show you Central Park after this year’s blizzard). On my website and the main photo here are of NY deeply into Spring.

My most favorite time in Spring is just when the tiny leaves are glistening in the sunlight like peridots and when there are still blossoms on some of the trees just before they have their leaves.

Just saying the word “forsythia” transports my heart to a place of pure delight because the appearance of that cheerful shrub is the signal that soon I will view cherry blossoms, pink magnolia laden trees contrasted against new, spring green.

To celebrate this moment of early Spring, (and to celebrate Frederick Law Olmsted, the co-designer, landscape architect of Central park whose 199^th birthday was on Tuesday this week) here are photos of Central Park (www.centralpark.org) starting from views of The Plaza Hotel (http://www.theplaza.com/) located just off 5th Avenue and West 58-59th Streets.

Here are other early Spring views of: the Park Avenue rose sculptures; street views on the Upper East Side; and of a neighborhood restaurant, Grace’s Trattoria (http://www.gracestrattoria.net/home.html) where great pasta, thin-crusted pizza, and overall good food and nice ambiance are found.

I hope that you enjoyed the show!

Hi Everyone,

There are three reasons why I’m sending yet another announcement out to you this week. The first is my apology to you, the second is to get you a posting about the Boyd Family Singers and lastly, I needed to remind everyone about the next Practitioner Skills Development Class that is scheduled for May7-8, 2011

Please accept my apology that there are so many separate postings arriving in your mailbox this week. I was technically challenged to produce the article on the Boyd Family Singers that I promised would go out this week. This ate up my time so I couldn’t get all of the posting done on time before the scheduled publication hour.

Also, I’ve changed the publication time so that the technical problem of postings from one week appearing as the first item on the next week’s newsletter hopefully won’t be happening again. This is all a learning experience and I am still a very baby blogger.

Hopefully this announcement will generate your receiving the posting about the Boyd family singers.

The last item is that the Final Registration date for the May 7-8th Practitioner Skills Development class 9:00 am Eastern time on Monday April 25th. If you are planning to attend you need to contact me direcly to hold your place as soon as possible.

For those of you who are wondering what I am talking about, Practitioner Skills Development classes are open to Repatterning Students, Student Practitioners, and Certified Practitioners who need: to fulfill their RPA membership CEU requirements; and/or for those who need tutorial observations by an RPA Designated Observer in order to fulfill the requirements of their Certification process; or for Repatterning Students and Certified Practitioners who want to upgrade their knowledge base and skills by being a part of the class.
