New York City is just bursting in spring color right now…so what a treat to get out to a few of the gardens…from Central Park…to Wave Hill…to the New York Botanical Garden…color is everywhere! Not to mention a day trip to Wayne, Pennsylvania to visit friends!
As I write this post…the cherry blossoms are barely holding…so it’s snowing petals big time in Central Park…
A rare opportunity to visit Wave Hill at dusk…an estate gifted to the city of New York exactly fifty years ago…and celebrated with an art installation consisting of three sculptures that provided various reflections through mirrored and colored plexiglass. Not overly impressed with that part, but loved being able to walk through the 21 acres and take in those magical twilight moments…
Art installation reflection…
And there was a short trip to Wayne, PA to visit friends, as well as to celebrate their second boutique opening!
Congrats to the Mushmina gals!
Thanks for the inspiration from your store window…
now I know another use for my tea pot purchased on my last visit to Morocco!
Just walking around in the neighborhood of Wayne…soaking in the color was an added bonus!
And then there was the New York Botanical Garden…oh my…oh my….
and the amazing peony garden…some with a bloom span of seven inches!
and the azalea garden? A-M-A-Z-I-N-G….
So much beauty in our world! And if you happen to be wondering about the softness around the corners of some of the images? Well…for all you photographers…play with a touch of vaseline on a cheap filter…so much fun!
Oh my! Oh my! A beauty overload! I love twilight … I love peonies … I love your city … I love you for sharing so much.
Thank you my sweet! So much!!! xoxoxo
WOW!!! You captured the beauty with your photos and your words… nothing else to say but THANK YOU for sharing. XoXo
My pleasure! Love you! xo
I have been transported by the beauty you caught. Thank you.
oh, thank you so much Pat!!
GORGEOUS! My peonies are just starting to bud, and my rhodies are popping out like crazy! Love, love, love your photos, and this makes me want to get out the old Nikon and some vaseline!
Thanks Kathy! Gotta love some vaseline, ha ha! Now go get that old Nikon out and PLAY!!
LOL at the vaseline part because, yes, I noticed the “softness.” Don’t we all love the tricks of the trade. 🙂
In the meantime, of course you’d go out in search of color and blooms and anything to celebrate. I know your Mushmina gals were thrilled that you came. You are so supportive of everyone in your life. THANK YOU for how you inspire us all.
Ha ha! Too funny! Oh, thank you so much Ginnie! I appreciate you so much!
Oh My, what a breath of beautiful fresh air. You certainly captured such gorgeous blooms.
I feel so tranquil soaking them in.
Yes, Yes, I love the vaseline trick softening the edges. You are a master of your craft.
Thank you so much for sharing.
Love you.

You’re speaking my language! I always drift back to my first photography love – flowers. I feel at home in a garden of any kind and finding the pictures that lay in wait is one of my greatest joy. I love this entire post! My favorites – the blanket of cherry blossom petals, the mystical azalea garden, and the red-breasted robin. Thanks for the tip about the vaseline – I’ll give it a try.
What a treat! Wonderful colors and vaseline? Really? Great idea!
Gorgeous!
