Can you believe that less that two months ago, Astoria Park was covered in snow? Well, today is another story – simply gorgeous weather, with bright blue skies, a little bit of a breeze, and mild temperatures. I took a walk to Astoria Park today and wanted to share some of the photos I took.
This fantastic pink dogwood is on 23rd Ave, about five houses east of 21st Street. I look forward to its blooms every year.

There are a bunch of these flowering shrubs around the edge of the Great Lawn in Astoria Park.
