Hudson River Park

Time for great summer walks by the river. Hudson River Park is one one of the nicest spots in the city. Still there are still parts that are underdeveloped.

The ruins.
Less of a dumping ground but more like a holding pen.
Future home of Citi Bike
Looks cool but when it leaks you try to fix it.
Park entrance.
We leave the smells of the city behind us.
It is not really a boat.
Sun bathers.
Artificial shade.
Dance floor.
Bridge and lagoon, NY style.
Apple?
Nature finds a home.
Kayakers
Canoers
Art turns ugly into less ugly.
Love these bushy plants.
OU...? OUCH? OUT? OUSTANDING?
Someone lost their ball at this exact moment.
I need an apartment here.
Froggy!

Baby mushrooms.
Fragile mushrooms.
Famed Chihuly glass.
Jellyfish glass.
 Okay on to the actual exhibit.
Jellyfish they have lights, really.
Glowing mushrooms, no you cannot lick them.
Pictures are frowned upon so be careful. .

Macy's Flower Show 2012

The annual Macy's Flower Show was moved to a tent on the street next to Macy's to my dismay. I can only guess that all the slow walkers and picture takers were slowing down the sales on the floor.They should move it back inside next year.

This year's theme is Brasil: Garden of Paradise.

She ain't really Brazilian.
I see London, I see France I see Brazilian underpants.
Asian lady in the corner was not part of the display.
Ehhh, looks like a regular garden to me.
Nice, these were hiding in the shadows.
Waterfall.
Not for the public to stroll through, so what is the point.
Tent view.

Driving by...not me but everyone else.
Dining with a view.

Queens County Farm Museum: Animal Edition

Still at the Queens County Farm Museum except now let us see some of the cuddly creatures.

I see you too Bessie.
Scratching an itch.
Natural blonde.
Family time!
No that is not an egg keep looking.
Not the best hide and seek players.
Llamas
Of course what farm is not complete without a turtle.
Take a gander.
There so fluffy!
At least they were fluffy.
Fresh t-shirts made to order.
Turkeys right before the holidays, I do not expect to see them next year.
So that is where McNuggets come from.
