Springtime in New York City

girlsI passed by these girls while walking recently through Sheep Meadow, which is Central Park’s largest lawn without ballfields. The girls were among clusters of people tossing Frisbee and frolicking but what caught my attention was the girls’ taking  turns lifting one another off the ground. “Hey guys, I’m light,” the girl in the white top, in the center above, exclaimed to her friends. That’s something we stop doing at some age — picking each other up (in the literal meaning of that term)  just for the fun of it. I’m not suggesting we start, but watching these girls trying to lift one another and delighting in their playtime delighted me.
