Voyage to the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens
A bunch of friends and I went to the Botanical gardens on a beautiful autumnal Sunday.
There was a surprise at the Eastern Parkway station: a long term exhibit of architectural ornaments--as you'll see from the photos, they're gorgeous.
Then to the gardens--the rose garden is still in bloom, although most of the roses are past their peak. The Japanese garden is the highlight. Even though no one was feeding them, the carp were eagerly thrashing about in the hopes of something falling to them.
It was chilly in the shade, warm in the sun. Kind of a typical fall day. We spent a few hours there and it was a lovely outing.
