I like this photo of Alison.

Alison and I went to the New York Botanical Gardens last weekend. We had a terrific time despite hot and sticky climes, and I took some photos. So nice to see some new plants and immerse myself in greenery.

Gorgeous trees greeted us at the Botanical Gardens.
This plant looks like it was inspired by a roller coaster.
This one was reminiscent of a waterfall, but felt much pricklier.
This one, called, appropriately, Lamb's Ear, was very comforting to the touch.
Not a copper sculpture, a cabbage. Gorgeous.
I have left the NYBG and entered Whoville.
Alison and me. We are spotted because we stood under a sprinkler for a bit; it was that hot.
Not a leather bookbinding, tree bark. Warm and lovely.
Not a stencil in the sky; a breed of maple leaf.
love these colors. the tonality is so soothing.
butt-cactus. yuck.
