Sad time with Pauline dying (as stated elsewhere on RR), and one of my rats has tumors - not even a year old. 
But, for nine straight days we had great weather, and I hiked over hill and dale, mile after mile, in all sorts of gardens in New York City, from the Bronx to Brooklyn. Good exercise, too. But backlogged in housework.
BROOKLYN BOTANIC GARDEN
GREENWOOD CEMETERY and George Catlin grave
Catlin was the very famous painter of Native Americans, and this statue commemorates him. Many more photos on the links.
The second photo is the Townsend Harris grave site.
Townsend Harris founded City College in NYC, and was the first U.S. ambassador to Japan, played by John Wayne in the movie "The Barbarian and the Geisha". His grave in Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn is very pretty.

Other links with more photos already posted. Maybe more to come!
