So many people!!
So many people!!
It was one of the biggest crowds I've ever seen at a concert in the park. I think the weather helped tremendously!

I started a public group called "Central Park". If you have any posts about Central Park, please add them to this group!

I love sunset in Central Park. It is so pretty. Mr Martini suggested that the sunrise must be pretty too. I'm pretty sure it is - but I'm no early riser. I haven't seen it once.

I noticed that there are a lot of white flowers in summer. Is this a coincidence?

This is a strage-looking flower, isn't it? I have no idea what it is (as usual!).

Wow, they are so fast at releasing a new model, aren't they? I thought they just released D300. I didn't even have time to test it around, and here comes D700!!!

I don't think I will own D300 nor D700. They are simply too big for me. I think I will be happy settling with D80.

That won't be happening so soon either - need to save money!!

Has anyone had a hand on this super-looking DSLR already?

Corn was in season while I was in Japan. This reminds me that last year when I visited the south, I was served a serving of corn as seasonal vegetable. I mean just corn! Couldn't they have said "corn" instead of "seasonal vegetable"???

delicious corn!

]]> Loquats (Eriobotrya japonica) tag:vox.com,2008-07-05:asset-6a00e398d16846000300fad696b4a60005 2008-07-05T03:10:17Z 2008-07-09T04:15:48Z martini http://centralpark.vox.com/?_c=feed-atom-full

I saw these a lot in Japan. Literally all over the place. I didn't know this was one of the Japanese evergreen trees. Its fruits are edible, very sweet and juicy. It's called "Biwa " in Japan. I feel I'm in Asia when I see this tree in town.

I haven't been to Central Park to take flower pictures for a while. Totally different kinds of flowers were blooming. I call them Summer Colors! The color is so vivid, aren't they?

]]> Thai dinner tag:vox.com,2008-06-21:asset-6a00e398d16846000300fa968047fe0002 2008-06-21T05:49:05Z 2008-06-21T05:49:05Z martini http://centralpark.vox.com/?_c=feed-atom-full

Mr Martini and I went to East Side for dinner. We hardly come to this area (no particular reason!). It reminds me of the Upper West Side years ago. It's really nice. UWS has gotten too family-oriented and lost the character in a sense. For long time New Yorkers, it's a bit sad.

Anyway, the dinner was good, the price was reasonable. We had a very nice time.
