Last Beautiful Day

Yesterday and today's weather was unusual for New York's fall season. Instead of depressing clouds and low temperatures that would make my toes turn purple, the skies were blue and the sun was shining its warm rays on my smiling face. It was a perfect day to lay out, tan my white legs, and watch random people at the park, all while listening to my iPod, which provided the perfect soundtrack to the last beautiful day of the year (in terms of weather, according to the weather.com).


Take my hand and let's stroll through the park.


My furry friend, the squirrel. It told me that it wants to bite people named Dana.


We laid out at Sheep Meadow in Central Park. In addition to the sunbathers, a lot of sports enthusiasts were running around. I saw people throw footballs and baseballs, people playing paddle ball, a father showing his two year old son how to putt a golf ball, and frisbees flying across the field. The frisbee throwers were like the Harlem Globe Trotters of frisbees, who kicked or hit the frisbee to keep it spinning in the air and caught the frisbee behind their back and under their legs. My friends and I met a man who was throwing a frisbee and he told us that he and the other men meet at the park every weekend to play frisbee. I thought it was kinda dorky to be serious about playing frisbee, but once we threw it around, it was really fun! I won't be joining the frisbee club anytime soon though...

"Cerveza! Cerveza!" At first I thought it was another crazy homeless person walking through the park asking for beer, but then I realized that it was a crazy person selling beer.



A giant butterfly kite in the sky.


Something so simple as a kite made me happy. I couldn't help but smile.


A red dragonfly landed on my friend's sandal. Our pheromones must attract bugs because one of us always has a bug bite or bugs around us.


As we exited the field, we could hear loud dance music playing. People were dancing with their rollerskates! How fun is that?


This has got to be one of the sexiest dudes I've seen in NY. I don't know if it's the spandex pants or the bright orange marks that make him sexy. What do you think?


This guy had extra beach towels so he made himself an early Halloween genie outfit.
