The city is not really a concrete jungle as some like to describe.  I see it as a unique garden,  sometimes.  I’m loving the different flowers I see all over the place.  Here is one of them. 

Happy Monday, everyone.  Have a great week.

   Nice slant on a city, Paz! I guess most cities are a big garden, if you just look! I know my city is a massive beach with a garden

   especially when I see how the plants and flowers striving within this (comparatively with country) smaller land, I can feel the power of life! Paz, your pics are amasing! I definitely will miss NYC… but glad your Monday post being my “chicken soup”
   Thanks for your e-mail sent to me earlier! My visit, holiday and relocation are starting to a full gear now, will back to “see” you a couple months later *big kiss*

   Weather looks great there in Nueva York. It’s been icky here on the West Coast: overcast, damp. We’re in the thick of what’s known as “June Gloom,” the period of greyness before the white hot summer hits. That picture is lovely. Makes the concrete jungle disappear, doesn’t it?

   I love to be reminded that NY really is a beautiful city. I wandered around Central Park this weekend just amazed at all the GREEN!

   Nice photo!
   Speaking of gardens, exactly a year ago I got involved in a unique urban garden project, called the Happy Forever Community Garden. I like to tell people in other communities, because I think it is a great idea. I wrote the story of the project for a local magazine called Edible East Bay and the article can be downloaded from this page: http://www.edibleeastbay.com/pages/articles/spring2007/spr2007.htm
   If you are not familiar with the Edible Communities magazines, the complete list is available here:

   Did you take this photo at Union Square? I saw a bunch of them there and took quite a few photos.

   Agapanthus! It’s nice to know that while mine (both purple and white) have died down for winter, others are blooming on the other side of the world.

    Hi Kat: Nature is beautiful, isn’t it?!

    Hi Dianne: A “massive beach with a diamond?” I love that description!

    Hi Gattina: A big kiss right back at you!

    Hi Rosa: Thanks!

    Hi Mari: We’re having rain and cool weather. I don’t mind the cool weather at all. No complaints from me.

    Hi Beth: I bet Central Park looked terrific!

    Hi MTM: No, I haven’t been down to Union Square in at least a year. The flower was planted (along with others) in the strip (the middle of the street) between the
    uptown and downtown side. What is that part of the street called — the mall? Did you post your flower pics? I have to go check them out.

    Hi Kitchen Hand: Is Agapanthus the name of the flower? Ahh! So sorry your flowers have died. They’ll resurrect soon.

    Thanks for stopping by, everyone!
