And, Now, for Something Beautiful

Even in the most difficult of days, there is beauty to be found in the world.  I must tell you, after going to the 9/11 Memorial/Museum, the spring edition of the Brooklyn Botanical Garden was a balm to the soul.  It was filled with laughing families, children enjoying a perfect day in their strollers, and two young couples setting out on their married lives.

You'll find pictures of gorgeous flowers, and I even managed to find a bird or two to photograph.  It's late springtime in New York City, the Borough of Brooklyn.  The rose garden was in full bloom as were some lovely rhododendrons,

which I always think of as azaleas on steroids.

New Yorkers have small tucked away public green spaces, but the two great parks:  Central and Prospect are cherished by all.  The Brooklyn Botanical Garden is a portion of Prospect Park.
