For a while, red-eared slider turtles were sold as pets in NYC. Then people realized that a) the turtles grew much bigger than expected and b) they carry salmonella. It became illegal to sell them here but not before plenty of disgruntled owners dumped them into Central Park where they still thrive. (The Pond)
Bubbling under the American Elms. (The Mall)

A sweet and colorful ride home.
I lived for a couple years in NYC - decades ago now. But Spring in the city is quite miraculous - especially in Central Park. Thanks for distant view.
I love Central Park. Thx 4 sharing these lovely pics!🐢🎷🍬☀️🎊💧🎈🌳
