Thanks to a gentle reminder on Tuesday from Schenectady Corporation Counsel Carl Falotico (who should not be confused with the good luck Lady Bug to the left), I captured the first snowfall of the year the day it happened (Dec. 29, 2015), at our new Riverside Park play lot. Carl recalled that I had wondered aloud if the new play lot would be as charming as the configuration we had come to know and love. Although there really wasn’t enough snow for a truly fair comparison, I will admit that I am still “nostalgic for the Old Play Lot” (click on the nostalgia link to see why; and see our FCSS fundraising 2016 Play Lot Calendar, which has monthly photos of the old and new versions).
.
Nevertheless, the batch of photos presented in the following slideshow, proves you can find quite a bit of charm at the new play lot on a snowy day — especially with the Mohawk River nearby. (To see a larger version of a slideshow image, pause the Show, and right-click on the image; then choose Show Image in a New Tab.)

Happiest of New Years to all the young at heart who I hope to see at the Play Lot in many seasons of 2016.
