Yesterday we went to the Sakura Matsuri festival, Brooklyn Botanical Garden’s annual celebration of Japanese culture.

The cherry blossoms were in full bloom. Such beauty. Expect a flower photo bomb to hit this blog very soon.

HORSES & HAPPY SURPRISES

Concrete Flower: 110428: Horses & Surprises

Back in January, when I was in Hawaii, we were planning to go horseback riding.

Turns out we should have done the planning-part a little better, because all the rides were full.

Instead, we found this gorgeous path behind the horse ranch, where we made some new horse buddies.

At the end of the path was our reward: a pretty secluded beach.

DOGS

Wherever I am, dogs seem to find me. Maybe it means that I need to get one?

On the walkway outside our hotel room in Palm Springs,

these two curious ones poked their noses in the frame.

I think this one liked my boots.

HAPPY EARTH DAY

Concrete Flower: 110422: Happy Earthster

Today is Earth Day, a day we are all supposed to take extra special care of Mother Earth. To me, every day is Earth Day and a good cause to celebrate that we are alive and thriving on this amazing terrestrial orb of a planet.

R & R

Concrete Flower: 110422: R&R

I don’t know about you, but I’m looking forward to a very quiet Easter weekend, with lots of Rest & Relaxation.

Last time I did that was in Palm Springs. The Ace was the Place and the mind was at peace.

NYC doesn’t seem to want to give us desert-like heat any time soon, but I can (and will) at least start the day off with a fresh-squeezed OJ mimosa.
