Central Park Lagoon • NYC
Central Park Lagoon
I was in Central Park yesterday checking out Autumn life in this oasis of wilderness smack dab in the middle of Manhhattan. I ended up at the lagoon where people and animals rally together on the weekends to enjoy the fresh air. This is some of what I saw and photographed!

Great pictures!!
Japanese maple in Central Park? Is there a story to how those got there? Or are Japanese maple trees common?
I love colours seem so rich. Does central park have a scent? Like does the ponds or trees give off a particular smell during different seasons as if you can somehow smell the season?
In Cape town, We have proteas and fynbos that has a sharp smell, that always reminds me of home.
We driving along the farmlands on this side, the air often smells so sweet and fresh in the spring which is the season im in right now.

The Japanese maple trees are not native here so they are a special tree. But they do grow well in this climate and there is a large variety of trees in the park and probably some were planted for aesthetic reasons. The pond smells like wet leaves this time of year. The paths through the woods have a woodsy smell that is truly undeveloped nature. During Springtime in the park the flowering trees and shrubs give off a sweet hopeful scent especially the gardenia or lilac. Probably similar to what you are experiencing now!
Thanks for the great feedback,
I know thaf our indiginous plants are beautiful, we pride ourselves on fynbos but it smells herbal in a way. Fynbos in direct translation from Afrikaans actually manrs "little bush".
Because fynbos is a dry plant, requires little water..its said that some fynbos only blooms after a fire.
I'm not familiar with fynbos. That's very interesting.
These are protea's
They are South Africa's national flower.
Wow looks wonderful and alien!
