applause

Today being the first truly balmy day of spring, there was hardly a spot of grass to be seen for all the people on the Sheep Meadow in Central Park. This alone was a sort of magic. But then a young bride and groom stepped out on the lawn to take a couple photos, and as they moved through the crowd people started clapping and cheering. What a roar! Even though the trees are still mostly bare, that applause could have put leaves on the branches.
