A Sunday afternoon in Bushwick

It's a blissfully quiet Sunday afternoon here in Bushwick after a long and turbulent week. Spring officially sprang on Friday and children, their parents, skateboarders and others filled Maria Hernandez Park this afternoon as I walked home from the bank and other errands.

Attached is a video and other pictures to provide a sense of a typical Sunday afternoon in the neighborhood.
