The lovely backstreets of Chelsea

An iris in the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens

In the rose garden at the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens

Fluffy flowers growing on the Highline, a disused rail line on the west side of Manhattan that's now a park

Morningside Park

In Central Park

The 'Garden of Love' in Harlem. The words "Say no to violence. Say yes to Allah"
are painted on the garden wall behind rose bushes
