A Fall Sunday in the Garden

 I don't know what happened to this tree's limb.  It looks like it was trying to leave quietly, but what is with that ripped bark above?

Fields of lilles, fading fast

A single rose is meant to last

Blue petals strewn most everywhere

The butterfly says "no, not there!"

The birds.....

 I saw this on Broadway at 97th street and I'm still disturbed by it.

 

 

 And then we got a little closer....

Roses with butterflies in August

A butterfly on blue.

 

A butterfly in profile 

Drinking pollen upside down.

Stepping off the polinator

 

A butterfly disguised as a fish.

Prickly roses coming to greet you.

Roses languishing in the heat.

 

A rose urging you to follow.

Hester Prynne's rose.

This is not Hawthorn's rose.

Roses in June 2022

I'm putting these up now and making cute captions later.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Brooklyn Bridge Park

   We went back to Brooklyn Bridge Park and I have new possibilities for wallpaper, if you love buildings as much as I do.

How we can start over

 It's not like this tree is a metaphor for anything....

 Here are some more options for your computer's background.

Brooklyn Botanic Garden

 I think I'm falling in love with the Japanese Poppies at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.

The geese are hiding, but this one is impersonating a sleeping cat 

One poppy is worrying what world the other is blossoming into,

one bee makes its choice

and another shows off.

This flower is not feeling well.
