This year I had to work on Thanksgiving Day, though even when I'm free I've managed to miss the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade more and more in recent years. Fortunately, a friend provided these festive photos. They were taken on Central Park West at 73rd Street. The trees you see in the background are in and along Central Park.
