I walked down to Metropolitan to see a movie yesterday and on the way back shot these pics of some of the gorgeous trees in the Gardens and nearby. The time of day and the less humid air that filtered into the area late yesterday had the sun highlighting them magnificently. Too often we forget to stop and really notice the simple beautiful things that are all around us. Luckily, those of use who live in and near Forest Hills have this magnificent landscape to appreciate.
I need to walk through the Gardens more often, especially now that the leaves will be changing color soon!
ReplyDeleteMe too! Thanks for the reminder!
DeleteTruly Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing these photos.
Gorgeous. A few hot summers ago I was walking around Long Island City, and nearly passed out from the reflecting sidewalks. I realised that unlike Forest Hills (and Queens in general), they don't have much tree coverage. We are truly fortunate; thanks for reminding us of that!
ReplyDeleteThese trees were damaged by the tornado/microburst that hit the area in 2010.
