It was on Sunday, June 9th and I believe it was after a big rain, but the New York Botanical Garden (in the Bronx) was as green as I've ever seen it. Most of the tree blossoms (cherry blossoms, magnolias) had come and gone and the Azaleas were nowhere to be seen (they may not have blossomed yet), so there wasn't much in the way of actual flowers, but the tree leaves, bushes and grass were vibrant in their greenness.
This is the path I usually take after entering the Garden and heading north.
This is the pond at the north end of the Garden and the meadow just off of it.
This is the view looking toward the Museum building which greets visitors coming in from the west and the Metro North train station there.
This is a view of the new Rock Garden (which I still haven't entered).
A view of the Snuff Mill overlooking the Bronx River.
And from the front, in its newly renovated and cleaned-up state.
Only now it's called the Stone Mill. Oh, and "No Public Access."
What it looks like on the inside. Only we can't get in.
I remember when I used to be able to use the bathroom in the building whenever the Garden was open. Even when there was no one else around. Not anymore.
The path to the waterfall.
And, finally, the path out to the little-used Bronx Park East entrance (with its pathway over the Bronx River Parkway):
