One fine day - summer solstice

A day of wanderings and soaking in the sunshine in Central Park, enjoying the amazing vista at the top of the Rockerfeller Centre and an evening in Bryant Park watching James Bond = one fine day.

Sheeps Meadow where the city goes to sun bake on a glorious day.

Pretend ballet dancers.
Right after this photo we noticed a creep sitting 2 metres away just staring at the Big Sissa's butt. Not so cool. Eek.
Writing a few postcards in the sunshine.
The vendor was super keen for a photo! hehe.
Yummiest coconut icecream - ever.
The Big Sissa started out rowing the boat, but we didn't get far at all. So I took over.
Hmm, how is one meant to steer when you can't see where you're going.
Ahhh, this is more like it. Blissful boating on the lake in Central Park.
Big Sissa: Ha ha. Pretend to get really close to the water spout so I can get a photo.
Me: Oh shit! I am really close and I can't stop!! Eeek.
Never fear - Crisis averted with a few crafty boating maneuvers.
What IS that thing in the water? There are heaps of them.
*Squeal* It's a turtle (more likely a tortoise, but hey). In fact its THOUSANDS of them!!!
Setting up for a gala dinner in Central Park - the opening of Shakespeare in the Park with Al Pacino.
Baseball field in Central Park.
Posing on the way to the Top of the Rock.
Ah, isn't she beautiful?

Getting ready for James Bond - Goldfinger (1967) to start in Bryant Park.
'Goooldfinger' - Shirley Bassey.
Ahhh, Sean Connery, you are a god.
