Today’s Flowers: Behind the Church Fence

December 14, 2008 | Filed Under About New York, Awards, Bloggers, Chelsea, Flowers, Forsythia, Neighborhoods, Seasons, Spring, Sunflower Award 2008 

 

On the grounds of an old Episcopalian church in the Chelsea neighborhood, downtown,  I spied this flowering tree.  I took this photo months ago in the Spring time when I was hanging out with Elizabeth.


Thank you Today’s Flower’s Team (Luiz, Denise and Laetre) for presenting this Sunflower Award 2008 to all those who participate in the Today’s Flowers photo blogging event.

    I love my forsythia bushes more than just about anything in my yard. We had them in the yard growing up and they were the first thing to bloom!
    Love this shot!

    very nice early forsythia - nice to see this time of year when there’s so much brown outside…

    The angle of the bars in front (or whatever they are) and the stone wall in back, it sort of looks like an old abandoned prison. Very cool shot!
