Located right off Fifth Avenue and Central Park South in Manhattan, across from the Plaza Hotel…a little park called the Grand Army Plaza, the home of the Roman Goddess…Pomana. How many times have I walked by this area and never really paid attention to the statue, much less to learn the meaning of it. But just a couple of days ago, heading to the Easter Parade, the statue was surrounded by the full bloom of the ornamental pear trees…calling for our attention…as if she was telling everyone…Hey…Look at me! Look at me! And I did. And I now know that Pomana is the goddess of fruit trees, orchards and gardens…so appropriate…
This post is dedicated to Earth Day…a day to encourage respect for our Earth…giving us continued opportunities to view the amazing beauty that constantly surrounds us throughout this world.
And speaking of more amazing beauty that constantly surrounds us…
spring in central park
Oh WOW frissy, spring in Central Park looks spectacular! And yes, if I saw all those beautiful flowers from the pear trees around the statue of Pomana, I would for sure want to stop and take a closer look. Great shots as always frissy. Happy Earth Day to you too. XoXo
Thanks my sweet! It’s so beautiful out…amazing therapy for sure. XOXO
That last guy did not get his suit at Men’s Wearhouse.
Nor did he get his eggs at Michaels.
Spring in your beloved city and park…doesn’t get any better than that, I know!
No it doesn’t! I’ve been chasing spring for the past couple of months…in the desert, in Virginia and now my city! Thank you!
Like white clouds against the buildings in the background.Spring must be beautiful in NY!
It is Karen…you need to think about being in the city this time next year! 🙂 Thank you!
WOW, that is just fabulous, what a wonderful tree. I love Spring, all the new leaves, all the new life. I am so happy that you can inhale the wonders all around you. Life is good, isn’t it…… If we only want to see it, like you did now.
