Photo by myself at the Oval Lawn, in Battery Park City.
A small grove of cherry trees bloomed in the heart of Battery Park City at the southern tip of Manhattan, surrounded by tall apartment buildings.
Families, runners, saunterers and sun worshipers were out in full force, Saturday, enjoying the good weather. The park in Battery Park City winds along the waterfront. You can walk along the water or tuck into shaded garden areas.
The park is relatively new and is very well maintained. From here, you have clear views of the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty and the New Jersey shoreline.
Saturday afternoon, Mark, Rupert and I toured around the 36-acre park. One loop around is a long walk. There is also a marina for small boats, a ferry terminal and a dog run. Rupert had a grand time sniffing about and met some Manhattan buddies.

Glorious! It could almost be a new Musical: "Saturday in the Park with Rupert!" Love it!
Spring has arrived! Beautiful trees and your photos are great. Thank you for the link to the map of the park, etc. I love visualizing where your places are.
Beautiful!!!!
Beautiful picture, I've got this tree in my own backyard, I can tell you when those white leaves fall off you really got a mess in your garden. But the tree is beautiful!
Wow -- I can almost smell the air and hear the birds!
Wow! I was so surprised to see trees so much in bloom - it looks incredible. Springtime is wonderful.
Mme la Vache et «Louis» wish you a Blessed Easter.
magical! I feel transported!!
so pretty! This looks like a great place to take a nature break.
I notice the cherry trees bloom at different times on Long Island. I photographed some in Roslyn the other day while the one in my backyard is not quite ready yet.
Wow! That is trully amazing. I saw that (the cherry blossom) in Tokio and for me it is unforgettable.
It's the first time I see Battery Park dressed in white! Fantastic, it looks like Japan in spring! :-)
I enjoy your NYC photos very much.
Wonderful photos -- you've captured the scene perfectly. My daughter and I rode our bikes down to Battery Park from the East Village yesterday and saw these beautiful blossoms everywhere. Thanks for posting these.
Your political advice proved true at the end of the day with the last comments posted on my blog today...
