Bow Bridge in Bloom

A little pink, a pause by the Lake,
and the city through Mini’s eyes.

A little pause by the water

Central Park has a way of changing the pace of a New York afternoon. The water, the trees, the beautiful old railings—there is always a detail to stop for.

This spring sketch imagines a moment on Bow Bridge with Mini: her hand in mine, a blush tutu, and a little pink tailoring beneath the blossoms.

A pink-dress afternoon
from my park album

A favorite from my original Central Park Escapade: a pink dress, a seat by the water, and a little afternoon sun.

Revisit the original photo story for the outfit and photographs from that day.

Lovely details

The setting

That graceful curve

Bow Bridge’s low curve and ornamental railing make a beautiful frame for the Lake beyond.

The palette

A little spring pink

Pale blossoms, pink crepe, and soft tulle—finished with a small glint of gold.

With Mini

At her little pace

A pause to look at the water, a hand to hold, and a beautiful place to see together.

A little planning
