Though spring officially began at the end of March, for me there's something about the first week of April that fully brings on the feeling. It's typically when the trees are flowering, enveloping us in their dazzling, albeit brief, beauty. Tulips spring up all over the city in a multi-colored show and restaurateurs set up their outdoor tables. Manhattanites adore being outside and any eatery with a sidewalk cafe license is sure to draw a crowd.

I just love all the colors of spring! Our dogwood are at least a month ahead of schedule...and my herbs are almost harvestable :) Beautiful photos~

Spring and Fall the best times of year to be in NYC

Even with allergies, I love the spring! ... for all of the reasons your pictures show!
ReplyDeleteObviously the city of Manhattan takes care in the appearance of things-good to know. Your pictures are so amazing and do tell you that you do not have to live in the country to see the signs of spring! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteI love when the flowers start to bloom in the city! The tullips are always so gorgeous & park avenue has some of the best landscaping for it. I hate that the weather hasn't been up to par but I can tell that it's coming! Great photos!
ReplyDeleteVery very pretty!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos! I am getting ready for Passover this week as well--I look forward to seeing what you are making.
ReplyDeleteAw thanks for giving me a taste of my hometown in Spring! I remember growing up I always knew Spring was in the air because a tree on Charles Street bloomed pink before all the others. Here in Israel Passover preparations are in full swing! You can't even find potato chips in the grocery store any more :-)
ReplyDeleteAll the tulips are making me smile! That's my favorite part of Spring!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely breathtaking photo's just beautiful... thank you!
ReplyDeleteIt's been a long time since we've seen New York in the Spring, thanks for reminding us of how lovely it is!
ReplyDeleteSo gorgeous! How can I not love a city that's filled with my favorite flowers? :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful spring photos! Thank you-)
ReplyDeleteSo true!!! I love NY in the spring, I see way more flowers and prettiness here than I ever did back in Ohio (it was mostly grass)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love Tulips and the City certainly is gorgeous this time of the year. Great Snaps!!
ReplyDeleteMy cherry blossoms trees are slow to start. Just getting buds now. But it's super cold here so hopefully soon they'll bloom.
ReplyDeleteOh!!! I can't even begin to tell you just how jealous I'm going to be that my girl will be right there and I won't be!! I've forwarded this post to a couple of her friends who are going on the trip too. So beautiful!!! I've told my husband that this is definitely on my list to visit...
