The Flora of Summer

This is a small collection of what is blooming in late spring, early summer.  These flowers were photographed in various community gardens around New York City.  Yes, this tends to be out of scope of my typical photographic fare, but at one time, before I ultimately chose a career path of technology, I actually considered floriculture/horticulture.  You may click each image to get a little more information about each flower.

Tigerlily.

The Kiss

Speaking of falling in love, I can’t exactly say what it is these pigeons are doing, but they need to get a room….  Taken in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

Flashback...

I'm already over winter...A Shot from not too long ago of my apartment building near Alabama Street in the Old Northside Area...

Also best if viewed large...

Creeping In II

On 9th Street, about a block west of Sherman Dr.

Art Deco Sunflowers

At the northeast corner of 30th and Meridian, across the street from the Children's Museum...

Urban Nature

Not all urban nature is pleasant; here are a few examples from the Kentucky and McCarty area:

A blooming mosquito metropolis...


Poison ivy and rust...

Urban Nature

These photos are from a neighborhood called Windsor Park, which is located north of 10th Street and east of Massachusetts Avenue...

Urban Nature

When I was a child, I had a fascination with thistles(not sure if that's proper plural form). They are like many things in life; they have a certain grace to them that draws you to touch them, but you assume some liabilities in doing so...

Taken near Maryland and Alabama Streets...

The Christian Park Vicinity

Here are some shots of Christian Park and its surrounding on yet another beautiful day...






Something is not right here...




On English Avenue


Sherman and English; someone once ran a red light, and plowed into yours truly at this very intersection a few years ago...Nobody was was hurt; the cars involved... well, that's a different story...


Back when English carried the route of US 52 (pre- I-465), which then merged into Southeastern Avenue (then US 421)...




The sky was gorgeous today!

Including these shot is a bit of a stretch considering that this is about a mile away from Christian Park, but I'm quite fond of this old viaduct bridge...

Thundermutt once referred to this place as the "ol' swimmin' hole"; a popular place for kids to cool off, but beware the CSOs...

Urban Nature

Yellow Finches off of 10th Street in Ransom Place....


Garfield Park Squirrels Aren't Shy; we shared a moment here...

Indianapolis Neighborhoods - Emerson Heights / Ellenberger Park

Emerson Heights is located on Indianapolis' east side near the intersection of 10th and Emerson, close to Irvington. The neighborhood is home to Ellenberger Park; a park that I used to ride my bike around when I was young. It has some decent trails, and is right off of the Pleasant Run Trail.


10th and Emerson


New York Street and Emerson Avenue


Many Classic Houses along Emerson Avenue, 10th Street, and along Ellenberger Park...

This looks eerily similar to the South Village Neighborhood I covered earlier this month...

There are still a few houses that need some work, but not many...
