Central Park - Featuring Flowers, A Raccoon and David Blaine

I went for an early autumn walk in Central Park and inhaled in all of New York's splendor.


Across the Reservoir in Central Park.


Flowers behind the fence.


A closer look.


The Great Lawn. Duh.


My favorite lounging place - near Belvedere Castle.


Turtle Pond with a sea of floating moss.


Raccoon in Central Park. I kept my distance (that's why the photo is blurry).


David Blaine's shenanigans, I mean, posters.


David Blaine scene at Wollman Rink.


When I first saw him, he did in fact remain upright for quite a while. To drink, to pee, to get his blood pressure measured, to wave to fans.


Then the wires took him on a round and round spinny ride above the crowd - just to bring him back down to sign autographs.


Signing a poster. This is how I saw him for the majority of the time.


And then he would crunch up and do stretches and the big dude would come and push the back of his head. I guess this made sure he wouldn't go blind or whatever.


Lots of dudes like this. I didn't want to wait in line to get a photo with him; this one did just fine.


His logo is the best part.
