Here’s most of the crowd at 1:09 p.m. today, first Sunday of Spring…

And if you look sharply here you’ll see a few young seagulls standing.

Till the sands of Coney Island grow wings.

Sunday strollers in Occupy Wall St. coats at Coney. On beach, no one in bathing suits. Mercury stood at 45 (35% humidity) when Ceegee took picture…

Spring Clicks With the 100s At Coney… Ceegee Just Clicks
By Ceegee
I left the city Sunday morning at around 11:30 a.m. The F train was jammed with straphangers.
When I finally reached Coney their was very little traffic… And a fair number of cops… I missed the christening of the Cyclone, and caught the end of a protest, (to paraphrase: “Your Amusement Isn’t Amusing!”)… On the boardwalk I didn’t see the usual sun bathers. There was almost no one on the beach, just a few photographers and beachcombers, and no one was wearing bathing suits… Many of the concessions were closed.
The salt air made me hungry. So I baked a Dutch Apple Cake (see below) and drank a few cups of green tea. If I feel all right I’ll go to work tomorrow.
It took me over an hour to ride the subway back to the city. The connection from the uptown F to the uptown 6 is now possible and amazing. It was the first day that the Cyclone and Wonder Wheel, etc. were open for the season and for the first time since super storm Sandy…
I wonder what will happen in the summertime.

The Art Students Hold Their Annual Party… But Is It Art?
Miss Babita, that’s the whole name, is a well known psychic, her friends said. The sign may indicate some of her friends aren’t.
This is a mermaid costume that won first prize, a bagful of money which she didn’t count. The winner in the costume is Renee Parsons.
She graced the annual ball of the Art Students’ League at the Commodore Friday night and she is Natalia Munez.
