Wintertime sunshine

It's been a long winter, especially in NYC. We've had blizzards, then more blizzards, followed by...more blizzards. But today it got up to a steamy 48 degrees with sunshine, which reassured me that spring and summer are not far away! I took advantage of this balmy weather (although back home in LA we would have called this weather "freezing") with a long run along the river, wandering along new neighborhoods I've never been to. Of course what I really wanted to do was laze around on sandy beaches in Costa Rica...

or on the Italian Riviera di Levante...

But for now, the cool breezes of the East River will have to do. Happy sunshiny day to all!
