Central Park Winter Path

The rustic wooden fence seen here rests on a four acre section of Central Park's Shakespeare Garden which is located in the west part of the park near 79th Street.

 

On the 300th anniversary of William Shakespeare's death in 1916, this area was dedicated to Shakespeare and named. The plants and flowers that are found in this area are all mentioned in the works of the playwright and are also plants and flowers that are found in his garden in Starford-upon-Avon. There is even a white mulberry tree on this four acre plot of land that is said to have grown from a graft of a tree planted by Shakespeare himself in the 1600s.

 

While the paths that winds through Central Park's Shakespeare Garden is gorgeous in the warmer months of the year, it's absolutely stunning when snow has freshly fallen.

 

This photo was taken during one of the last major snowstorms (a blizzard) in New York City back in 2011. We haven't seen snow like this, in this magnitude, since then. I have been going through my photos from the two blizzards we experienced that winter season wondering if we will ever see snow like this again. Who knows?
