Kids, kites and art at Socrates

This morning I was looking out the window and saw dozens of kites flying above Socrates sculpture park in Long Island City. I thought it’s a good day to take a short walk, play around with my lensbaby in the park and check out the new sculptures.
Here are a few images from en route to the park and at the sculpture park.

Go green!

I am such a lucky person that I get to share my birthday with the entire planet.

So where is the perfect place in New York City to celebrate Earth Day/birthday? The Brooklyn Botanic Garden!

In April the cherry and magnolia trees start to blossom and thousands of people flock to the garden to see them. Here are a few of my images I took today.

Here I am enjoying the grass.

Ended the day with an amazing dinner at my favorite Thai restaurant in Williamsburg, Sea.

Orchids

Every year the New York Botanical Garden hosts a very special exhibition, the Orchid show.
It features thousands of beautiful orchids from dozens of different species. The colors, shapes and details of these flowers are just amazing.

Here are some of the images I took at the show. (I also sneaked in a fern because ferns are just so cool!)
