The Waterlilies and Lotuses | New York Botanical Garden are magnificent in early September.








After the rose brunch at the New York Botanical Garden, we went to the greenhouse. The current theme at the garden is a 1960s-inspired Flower Power.






We typically visit Harriman State Park in New York about twice a year. This trip was in early June, when the mountain laurel was still blooming (laurel in prior post). The sphinx moth was a treat. Nature always offers rewards.








In June, I photographed mountain laurel in three locations. I found a pink variety in a right-of-way near Call Hollow Road near the Bayard Cutting Arboretum. At the arboretum there was a striking red variety. I love the sculptural design of the flowers.









We had a lovely historical tour led by a historian at Mount Gulian Historic Site | Hudson Valley | Beacon NY. The flowers are from the garden there. After that, we drove to Stony Kill Farm Environmental Education Center – NYSDEC. I photographed a wet young red-tailed hawk there.







I love driving slowly through this lovely cemetery and stopping frequently for photography.








A few Spring flowers are showing.
