The gardens are bursting. It's possible to believe the flowers have feelings and they feel joy in the sunshine. 
Sometimes when I am on my bike, I am annoyed by the dogs that run wild off their leashes in the park. But they are, in their way, beautiful too. And dog walkers in the the parks have made the parks safer. So live and let live.

Is that riverside park on the westside of NY or the eastside? Is that where the bike paths are?
It’s on the Upper West Side. Like Central Park it was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted. (Thanks Wikipedia!)
Every nice day I commute to work on my bike through the park. I go 45 blocks without passing one commercial establishment. It’s glorious this time of year.
