Cold and clear got me out

All but the first of these shots were taken between dawn and 10 AM this morning, with the air so dry, it would probably chap a turtle's lips.
The first photo, however, was taken last evening, showing a street marketer protecting the goods. The real feel temperature was probably about 18°.
The airplane out of LaGuardia is about 5 miles away. The seagull is not.
The there's this little boy playing hide and seek with me on the bus to Central Park... or maybe it's peekaboo. It's been a very long time since I've played either.
The next image is of the Pond in Central Park at its southernmost point looking at the Gapstow bridge, and the next shows some people walking towards it.
Next you see an ice-skating lesson for two girls who should be in school.
Then we've got two male mallards playing follow the leader. The last two are part of the horse drawn carriage scene.

Looks like you had a fine morning David. Know the carriage scene. In New Orleans they line up on one side of Jackson Square.

Nice set of images, David!
The skating girls are probably homeschooled and learning more than the kids in a classroom. Three of my granddaughters are homeschooled. Two of them earned academic scholarships, and the third is still in high school.

An awesome set, but I really love the light and sense of serenity in that first shot ⭐🏆⭐

Thanks, all.
Something interesting happened when I asked a well-dressed couple from London that was taking a selfie if they would like me to take a shot of them.
I put their phone into the telephoto phase a little, stepped away from them, inverted the phone so that it was almost on the ground and angled it up at them with the tall ugly skyscrapers in the background. They loved it. Evidently it never occurred to them that selfies could actually look better. I ended up giving a one minute lesson incorporating the rule (not inviolate) of thirds as a guide opposed to a bullseye.
Everyone with a phone thinks they're photographers, so I did my good deed for the day.
