Yet more small-wonder joy from my Brooklyn Botanic Garden visit at the end of September. I’ve so many gorgeous photos left from that glorious morning that I’m doing themes: today it’s droplets of water on petals :-). As the last post may have alerted you, I’ve recently been back to Cox’s “longest sandy beach in the world,” in fact landed back in A’dam just last night, so more of those small sandy wonders also to look forward to in our future. Happy holiday season, one and all.
Last day of my third full year based here in Amsterdam, a city in which I’m now always happy to “come home.” It celebrates its 750th anniversary next year, with that light shining up into the sky originating from that first settlement. There’ll be anniversary celebration events all year, which you can check out if you’re planning or thinking about visiting the city. I’ll share a few shots of a recent sunrise over Sloterplas (where I live), to wrap up this year in ‘city views’ from home. 🙂
So if I still have sunny summer Amsterdam entrance photos left over from that lovely summer garden walk more than four months ago (remember all those private garden posts?), I think it’s time to double down on the entrances thing like I just did with the pics-from-planes thing. Hope you’re in a door mood, dear readers… 🙂
And another set of images from a single garden, behind a building which has an interesting history documented in the middle photo of the three-photo gallery just below. (Note: if you don’t see all these images on your small-screen, try again with larger screen or a different browser.)
