Rather than walk with the Linnaean Society’s field trip we drove. I injured my Achilles tendon and walking is painful. We cam across the group at Crescent Water and they excitedly beckoned us over. There was a Wilson’s Snipe there. It wasn’t as birdy a day as it could have been.
A few of the birds and plants that we saw in Green-Wood – National Historic Landmark in Brooklyn, NY.
My favorite Cemetery, Green-Wood – National Historic Landmark in Brooklyn, NY, looks lovely this time of year. I injured my Achilles heel so we drove around to and stopped briefly to make photographs.
Green-Wood has a program to help wildlife and improve the environment. This article explains what they are doing Rethinking Urban Grasslands – Green-Wood.
I love the elaborate Gothic and Romanesque architecture on some of the mausoleums.
Some statuary. I particularly like the first one with the backlit leaves.
I liked how the early morning sun made the reddish leaves on this tree glow.
Many of the tombs have fantastic sculptures on them. This one has a bear on it too.
