BBG in August

Lovely in every season. Here are some pictures from mid-to-late August.

View of black-eyed susans through the branch of a twisted tree:




A large flower (this is actually a double-portrait; look for the reflection in the sunglasses):


Tree reflected in the lily pond:


Water lilies with the softness of watercolor (thanks, Monet):



Lotus blossom, easily THE most photogenic plant in the garden:

A visitor to the BBG:


Small butterfly, big flower:



Snapdragons!!!!



I love the vibrant color of these:



Rose garden still has some blossoms, even though Rose Month was back in June:





This one reminded me of the lotus flowers, but it's still a rose:




No skating in the garden, sorry:




A picture from one of my few hiking trips this summer, to Anthony's Nose (near Bear Mountain):
