Photo by myself in Washington Square Park, in the Village.
Renovations on this park on Lower Fifth Avenue are complete, and people are flocking to enjoy the new space. There are tons of benches that are perfect for people-watching.
Kids cooled themselves off in the large central fountain. Visitors milled about and lunched on benches, while various musicians performed.
Mark and enjoyed lunched in Washington Square Park, Saturday. It was finally sunny after days of showers.
The chess tables were filled. There was a festive feeling in the air, as if everyone was on vacation.
When I can, I'll be deviating from the one-photo-per day routine, with City Portraits - series of photos showing an event or place, like the one a couple weeks ago from the Barbeque Festival in Madison Square Park.

belle serie, c'est un endroit de vie que j'aime beaucoup
Wow! Congrats for the serie Kitty. Amazing pictures. The old lady watching the painter is special!
Washington
Wonderful slices of NY life.
Isn't that the arch you'd see in Friends sometimes? Great shots, as always, dear Kitty!
that old lady has seen the park in all its variations...
This reminds me of when I was a small child and was rail thin playing and splashing in the fountains. Just try doing this here in Washington, DC and get a police officer giving you a ticket. I wish my husband would agree to move to NYC. I dream of NYC.
Your photographs are wonderful.
I need to head back there one more time before I leave NYC. :-(
Thanks Olivier
You'll be able to visit the park on your trip this Fall. Love to know what you think of it.
Hi Washington
Thanks so much. She looks like a sweet lady, no?
Thanks James!
Hi Susu
Yes, that's the arch. Even though there are several triumphal arches in Paris, I believe it's the only one like that in New York.
Hi Ken
Yes, I wish I had the boldness to go up to people like the woman and talk. I'm sure she's seen it all.
Thanks Theresa
The fountain in the Park is designed to be used, which is refreshing. The interior is lined with a series of steps so you can wade in.
Ming!!!
You will be sorely missed, as I've said. I still cannot believe you're leaving, and the NYC community will be all the poorer with you gone. So sad!
I like your idea of city portraits. Your photos are beautiful, as always. Your the perfect modern day portrait artist.
Dear Lily, thank you so very much, I'm absolutely flattered!
I recently enjoyed an afternoon in Washington Square Park--renovations completed. Classical Trio playing in the park. Nice photos.
