Listen to “loved” on the Cherry Esplanade at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. A sound installation by Michael Gordon in remembrance of who we lost during the pandemic. 🌸 #loved #brooklynbotanicgarden #memorial #michaelgordon #cherryblossom

Life this week among the Magnolia blossoms 🌸 #brooklyn #prospectpark #magnolia

Yesterday everywhere you looked was Spring Yellow 💛🌼☀️ #yo #spring #yellow #forsythia #daffodils #brooklyn

Last November I wrote in my journal a question about the future: “Will I see a wild rabbit next year?” I hadn’t seen a cottontail in Prospect Park for a decade, no matter how many times I visited the places I spotted them years before. Imagine the rush of triumph to see not one - but TWO - wild rabbits on Friday. (Photo of just one) 🐰🐰🎉✨🌱 #prospectpark #brooklyn #cottontail #2021goals
