High Line at the End of May
On my way uptown to the B&H Camera store I walked on the High Line. I photographed a few of the flowers. I love the geometric flowers of Mountain Laurel.
Central Park in May
The highlight of that day was the Cerulean Warbler. I didn’t manage to get a whole bird.

About This Walk
The first stop will be the High Line Park from Gansevoort up to about 17th Street. There are plants and buildings to photograph. You may want to bring a macro lens or use a zoom like a closeup lens paying attention to backgrounds and composition.
The second stop will be Little Island at the end of 14th Street with views of the Hudson River with more plants and urban landscapes. The entire walk will be about one mile and last about 4 hours.
If we have time, we may also visit Gansevoort Pier.
Optional: After the walk the nearby Pier 57 has lots of places to eat lunch where we can sit and discuss what we photographed and other things.
Great Elephant Migration
A couple of days before Friday September 6th the elephants arrived. See The Great Elephant Migration- Meatpacking District (meatpacking-district.com). Learn more at: The Great Elephant Migration | A Coexistence Story. They are displayed in several places in our neighborhood. a few elephants are on our street. They must have wandered over in the night. I bought a bag at the Love store on 14th Street The Great Elephant Migration Merchandise – LOVE BRAND & Co. 50% of the proceeds go to support the conservation efforts for the elephants. At the opening ceremony on Friday we were given bags of flower petals to throw on the elephants to bless them. Everyone loves them. Even if you don’t get to see them, or buy one, you can contribute.
Gansevoort Peninsula Sand Bluff
We went to the beach today a couple of blocks from home at the Gansevoort Peninsula — Hudson River Park. There is very fine sand and a water mister to cool off in. It was very relaxing. There is a grassy knoll next to the beach to lie on.
Hudson Piers
Different views taken from different piers.
Hudson Flowers
On a hot afternoon we went to look at plants and grasses in Hudson River Park.org Manhattan, New York City. Here are some flowers.
