NY: Catskills- Peekamoose Bluehole
For a couple of years I read about a small swimming hole with a blue glow within the NY Catskill preserve.

HeContinue reading “NY: Catskills- Peekamoose Bluehole”

I watched the sun’s shadow of a traveling water bug in the clear waters of this river while butterflies were dancing and the brook was babbling. Take time for yourself.
NY: Millbrook- Innisfree Garden- Daffodil Viewing
The soft opening of the 2022 season starts with a daffodil viewing. It’s not only about the daffodils. It’s about the rolling hills, the misty waters, the chatty geese and the biggest snapping turtle.

NYC: Museum of Modern Art (MOMA)
Every year for over half a century it rains on or within a day of my birthday. Not the kind of refreshing type of rain but the winter worn colder than expected all day type of rain.

NY: Bronx: NY Botanical Garden- Orchid Show
I was born in NYC. The hustle, the bustle, Broadway shows, the subway, the late nights, the early mornings and yet it took me all this time to just STOP and smell the orchids! Fortunately rain or shine, cold or hot, you enter the conservatory and enter a rainforest manicured to perfection. This years kaleidoscopeContinue reading “NY: Bronx: NY Botanical Garden- Orchid Show”
