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.

Found in the Garden

I saw a whole bunch of these manhole covers (at least, I think they’re manhole covers — Someone correct me if they’re not.) on the garden grounds of the General Theological Seminary. I’m not sure what they were doing on the grass but they looked interesting and very decorative.

Walking around in Chelsea, the facade of this church caught my eye.

Many people think of New York as noisy with lots of action happening. Not so. There are many quiet neighborhoods in the city. Here is one in the Chelsea area — a quiet brownstone-line street.
