Even during these stressful times in New York City, you can still enjoy a few moments of calm and solitude. One step into the Conservatory Garden, and you’ll feel the stress start to fade away. Located along Fifth Avenue on the northern end of Central Park, this oasis is particularly spectacular during the bloom times of spring. Even as the city faces one of its toughest times, nature still keeps moving forward and shares its beauty. It is a gift we gladly accept everyday as we stroll through this lovely garden.

Here are a few photos that capture the scene.
