Spring trees and a Manhattan schist bedrock outcropping in Central Park, Manhattan.

This and several other photographs from my end-of-April visit to Manhattan will be interspersed with earlier photographs of the natural world over the next few days. I wrote earlier about my bad luck with New York weather — I went in April hoping for the beautiful spring weather than New Yorkers had told me about, only to have three days of rain! I managed to get out for a walk into the spring-green but very wet reaches of lower Central Park on this morning.

Considering that it is located in the middle of this huge metropolis, Central Park still surprises me with moments of quiet and (near) solitude. There were plenty of people out on this rainy morning, though the crowds were suppressed a bit as I walked up this path through trees and near some of the exposed Manhattan schist bedrock formations that are found throughout the park.
