Rockefeller Center
Actually the photos on this post were taken on the third of July, but let's not quibble about the dates. The weather forecast for this weekend was at best iffy, and I wanted to make sure that I got to Rockefeller Center to take photographs on a sunny day. I went yesterday and it turns out today is just as lovely as yesterday. The entire weekend has turned out to be a great weather weekend and I've enjoyed a less-busy New York, at least in my neighborhood. The Rockefeller Center vicinity was hopping and lots of fun to visit.
Love the "stay dry" fountains!
I'm not sure what the technical term for these fountains are, but in Buttercupland they're to be known as the "stay dry" fountains. The water stops and people step into the circle and then the water begins again. This is a new addition to the area and it's the same area where the Christmas tree is displayed in December.
One of my favorite parts of Rockefeller Center are the fountains that begin at Fifth Avenue and stretch for half a block going west to the skating rink. They are decorated for every season and these summer decorations are particularly lovely.
I'm about to do some walking and enjoy this beautiful day in New York. I treated myself to my favorite summer treat, soft ice cream, yesterday and if I'm feeling especially indulgent I just may treat myself again. What's your favorite summer treat?
As ever, thanks for visiting. Heart and prayers are in Highland Park. Take care and stay safe, my friends.
Note: I'm not sure what's with the quotation marks, but I'm figuring it's just today's quirky Blogger issue.

Rain predicted here, but seems just sprinkles so far. We used to go to the beach to watch awesome fireworks display sponsored by the casinos in Biloxi, Miss. Last few years we have been staying home in our AIR CONDITIONING, listening to the booms, and occasionally seeing a burst of light and color.
I'm sure that water feature would be greatly appreciated on a hot summer day.I'm glad you had some beautiful weather in which to enjoy the holiday ! We've had some thunderstorms here this morning but yesterday was hot and sunny so this feels good for a change.
Your stay dry fountains look fun. Enjoyed the views around NYC, thank you Buttercup :)
It was a beautiful day here too for the Fourth. Rain came today but we need it so I won't complain. Those fountains look fun especially on a hot day.
What a beautiful city you have for celebrations! I would love to be there! I have been walking every day and it feels so good! Enjoy your day dear friend, HUGS!
Oh I want to go in that fountain!
