on the line

Eastern redbud (Cercis canadensis) beginning to bloom in the Gansevoort Woodland.

With all the plants in bloom right now on the High Line, it's hard to believe there was ever a period of dormancy. From the redbud's bold lipstick-shaped blooms, to the dainty, sunshine-colored miniature daffodils, the whole park is beginning to take on a renewed feeling of wildness.

One of the snowmen built on the High Line over the weekend. This guy greeted visitors at the 10th Avenue Square.

This past weekend, the High Line was inundated with a peaceful army of snow people. Park visitors took advantage of the record snowfall and a created snowmen and ladies in wide range of size, shape, and personality--it was quite a sight to see!

With the sunny spell we've had this week, many of the snow people have since melted, but you can check out a few of our favorites below.
