NYC - Day 4

We spent most of today in Central Park. The weather was really good, being sunny but with a bit of clouds and a nice breeze every now and then.

The park is huge, so we just wondered around and sat somewhere with lots of people. Before we went to the park, we bought lots of food and goodies from the local store (which is really good) and so we were sat there munching most of the time :)

One very noticeable thing about New York is that a) most people are alone (ie single) and b) almost everyone has a small dog. Some in dog baskets, some in little dog clothes, but out of every 10 (single) people we saw, at least 6 had a small dog.

I was also messing around with the camera and realised that taking really close up pictures of flowers or grass or insects is really cool, especially when the rest of the picture is out of focus, and the main focus is a small thing like that. I also like taking pictures where the foreground is out of focus (see Kelly's picture below).
May be that's another (expensive) hobby I should take up, photography!

Finally, as we were wondering around we stumbled on a part of the park full of sports courts and the like. A bunch of people were playing a rather heated game of street basketball, while some parents were watching their kids play baseball. It was all very cool, and very very American :)
