Brunch on a branch


Snow swept into New York this past Friday in the first true storm of the season, turning the Big Apple into a vast playground for kids of all ages - and for a few of the furrier inhabitants. I was in the East Village visiting friends and dashed out into a nearby park as the downfall intensified. There were plenty of smiles as people - and quite a few of their pets - enjoyed the fresh snow before the plows, salt-spreaders and shoveling turned it into the brown slushy mess that commuters would be cursing a few hours later. 

I'm not usually one for the "Hallmark moment" pictures that snow encourages, but the nonchalance of this tyke after swiping a snack and choosing a snowy perch was too hard to resist.
