Tim and I walk at Prospect Park nearly every day. My Sister, Mary, took this picture of us right inside the park entrance near our home. We often picnic there, walk around the walking path which is 3.5 miles, take pictures there and sit by the lake and feed the ducks and geese. We try to stay cool there as you can often get a breeze in a shady spot there even when you can't elsewhere in our neighborhood. Our apartment building has a courtyard, but we prefer to go to the park. In Summer, it's very heavily used for cycling, jogging, walking and during the rush hour in the morning and evening, cars are allowed there. Weekends are very difficult as many people barbecue and picnic there then, and it's difficult to find a nice shady spot because they're all taken early. That's life in a big city like New York. That's one reason why I love the other seasons--because many people drop out of the scene, and it's emptier and as a result, cleaner.
