I found The Watcher in Central Park
Always observant, he reaches for his camera…
…while the buskers start to play…
Busk: verb, busked, busking. Chiefly British, to entertain by dancing, singing, or reciting on the street or in a public place.—busker, noun.
…and the children play and listen…
…and The Watcher watches them all, documenting The City he so loves.
Dancing buskers…
Aren’t you impressed?
There is always a wedding in Central Park. How many has The Watcher seen?
Chamber Music at the Bethesda Terrace
And Bubble Magic that makes me feel like this child.
We all watch in wonder as he weaves his magic…
…floating like a rainbow dream
…shifting shape and colors…
…growing
…floating, bending, kaleidoscope
…until the bubble BURSTS!
But, I can still hear that music playing…
…and I KNOW The Watcher will be watching, whether I am with him or not.
What a cool post! I loved it.

Birds, Bands, Buskers and Bubbles at Bethesda Terrace in Central Park, all within about 400 feet. It never gets old for me, but was even more fun to experience with you, sharing together our passions for beauty, patterns, texture and music. And now I know how to spot a brown creeper or a bufflehead!
ReplyDeleteNew York is awesome. So is my sister.
