Spring is in the Air!

I have officially survived my first New York winter. I thought that if there was one thing that would scare me out of NY, it was definitely going to be the cold weather. Luckily I enjoyed it, I didn't mind the wearing the big coats, gloves, scarves or even the snow. But let me tell you, as much as I enjoyed it, I am SO happy that spring is here. The leaves on the trees and the beautiful spring flowers are growing back. The weather has been amazing, beautiful sunny skies and temps around 65 on most days. This weekend it is actually going to get up to 80 degrees!! This weather makes me want to spend every moment outdoors.

Last week I took Chili Palmer for a nice walk in the neighborhood. I took pics of the blooming trees and a few of some of my favorite buildings. The architecture here is amazing, its one of the main things that made me fall in love with NY before I moved here. Enjoy!

My New Love

I recently got my very first DSLR camera, the Nikon D40. This week I went to Union Square and also took a ride on the Staten Island Ferry to take some pictures. I am still trying to figure out all of the settings on it, but so far I love it!
