Brooklyn Botanic Garden Mild Winter Day

 

Sunday Trees – 278

Sunday Trees – 278

 

Today I went to see the Georgia O’Keefe special exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum then I went next door to another one of my favorite Happy Places the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. It is one of those rare mild winter days as we edge towards spring and along with some other hardy Brooklynites I took in the bare stark beauty of this beautiful day.  I will talk about the Georgia O’Keefe exhibit in a future post.

Here are some Trail Talks narrated by yours truly The Roaming Urban Gypsy.  Enjoy. Please excuse my voice and quality of the videos I’m still Learning.  My pronunciation of the Latin names for these plants is awful and once I began editing the videos I realized that I kept using the word Botanical as opposed to Botanic. Actually the Queens gardens is name the Queens Botanical Gardens. Eventually perhaps in the Merry Merry Month of May which is my next vacation time.

Thank you!!

If only the real world could be so pleasant, pretty and beautiful untouched by crime, violence, sadness and depression.  Spherical perfection.

Pictures and Poetry

Will I be reading my poetry from this platform sometime in the future? Who knows? Maybe? Is it possible that I could have a small gallery space for my photographs? Perhaps?! Let’s see what the future holds.

Right now I’m just happy for the great breakfast food and friendly people!!  The Daily Press is the New Happy Place for Stephen and I. Stephen is always #1 in my Heart and my Priorities!!
