At the rear of the residence is a little grotto that Mr. Bannerman used to sit in to pray and meditate. The view from it is looking south on the Hudson River.

Bannerman Castle 1
We took a friend along with us to visit Bannerman Castle. It is a short boat ride from Beacon, New York. We enjoyed the two excellent tour guide’s narratives. It is well worth reading the history: History | Bannerman Castle
Flat Brook Park
We stopped briefly at a little nature sanctuary, Flat Rock Brook in Englewood, New Jersey. I hadn’t seen it before. Here is the history page About — Flat Rock Brook
Greenbrook Wildlife
Dappled deer and a Japanese beetle – Wikipedia
Greenbrook Dragonflies
We saw a hummingbird, osprey, and red-tailed hawks (one was a light orange). The lake is only a puddle now so no ducks or other birds. There are lots of dragonflies.
Greenbrook Plants
I’m trying to identify grasses. I can usually ID the main families.
Greenbrook Moss and Lichen
From the little nature sanctuary on the Palisades by the Hudson River in in New Jersey. It felt cool amongst all the greens.
