A walk in the park

 Today, my husband and I met a friend for a socially distant visit and walk in Central Park. 

An artist had created an installation of polar bears as a statement about global warming.

Political message or not, they were completely charming.

I loved how the familiar landscape was transformed by the snow.

We saw wildlife.

As we continued our walk and the sun began to sink a bit in the sky

the snowy landscape looked more and more like the photos on the front of ecumenical Holiday greeting cards.

We continued our walk.

We walked towards home. I loved catching the reflection of the trees in the puddles.

Today's walk felt like a gift.
