After a two-week bout with bronchitis, we emerged from seclusion this weekend and tried to make up for lost time. First stop - Brooklyn Botanic Garden. We could not have timed our visit any better. The cherry blossom trees, magnolia trees, tulips, lilacs, and rock garden plants were in full bloom. The Garden spans 52 acres and recently celebrated its 100
th anniversary. As charming as it is to be crammed up against fellow New Yorkers in a germ-infested subway car, it's nice to have a wide open space to visit.
The cherry blossom trees were so fluffy (disclaimer - Alyssa's adjective).
Bryan in a canopy of pink - his favorite.
The magnolia blossoms.
Other beautiful flowers.
The Shakespeare Garden was quite expansive. Playwright AND expert botanist? Who knew.
The Japanese Hill-and-Pond Garden. A very curious mix of what appear to be
koi fish and mallards.
Tulips in bloom.
It was a great day for picture-taking. Our subjects were very cooperative.
