Let's enjoy these few last days of summer.

  The red magnolias are the rarest and last to bloom but stay longer than the others. I love this  Kodachrome II shot dating from the mid seventies taken, naturally, at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.               

 The azaleas are in full glory at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. What a spectacle.

 After a really nasty winter, spring is somewhat late this year. It's as if the trees are scared and very cautious to show their glorious leaves and flowers. Patience.

 FINALLY, spring is here; let us. all rejoice.

 A wedding at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. I hated doing weddings, I only shot them when I had to when economic conditions dictated it.

OK, now that winter is officially one third over I feel more comfortable having thought of spring. So far this has been a really nasty winter.
 

 I hope this photo will ease the difficult digestion following the inevitable overeating at Christmas.

The Brooklyn Botanic Garden

A perfect afternoon in one of New York's most beautiful and relaxing place.

 Peonies at the Brooklyn Botanic garden; simply superb. 

 Another sign of spring. Let's give thanks.

 The magnolias will be here soon. Rejoice

BTW Happy St. Valentine Day.

 The delicacy of poppies is breath taking. Shot digitally at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.

 The magic of Kodachrome II meets the magic of spring.

 The Brooklyn Botanic Garden is of the true treasures of New York City. This is a shot of the Japanese garden a relaxing place and pleasant place.

     This is not Kyoto but a replica of its famous pebbles garden that was in the Brooklyn Botanic Garden but was razed in order to make a ridiculous children's garden that is hardly ever used. But I shot this image in the early seventies with a Nikon FTn and the 50mm F 1,$ Nikkor lens. The film was Ektachrome-X.
