Life in the Park

I teach an after school program in Harlem to two of my ESL children, and most of the time I dread doing it all day because all I wanna do it go home after a long day, but the time comes and the boys come and I usually leave in a really good mood. I'll chalk it up to having really cool kids in there, who honestly need the one on one attention, and are pretty much thriving because of it. That makes me feel pretty good, so I step outside seeing almost instant progress.

This is another shot of Thomas Jefferson Park, which now that it's spring is a fun place to reenter the world into after a long day of work simply because it's teeming with people from all walks of life, the people of Harlem, out with their kids, their friends, their boyfriends and girlfriends, their dogs, their teams. Whatever. It's life, and I love to watch that sometimes.

Here is one of the many baseball teams that come out to play in spring.
