. . but you can't take the country out of the girl! Proven true when I accompanied Mike on a quick jaunt to the city earlier this week. The photos in this post reflect what most captured my attention and lens on Monday afternoon. While I enjoy taking in NYC's impressive architecture, urban landmarks, the dizzying number of places to do serious damage to the wallet and the fashion-ista parade on Madison and 5th, I still gravitate toward the city critters.

Since there are no sheep to feed in Central Park I found myself at the duck pond at dinner time. 

And at about the time Holly was feeding the flock back home, horses were fed on 5th Ave.

Although this one seemed to be turning up his nose at grain.

And my favorite. Pretty, demure and dressed for Valentine's Day. I called her the Queen of Hearts. Which reminds me – I have something up my sleeve for Valentine's Day. It's late now, so I'll say more about that tomorrow.
