brigdhI went to the Brooklyn Botanical Garden today! Shamefully, I had never been there before. It's an absolutely lovely plant collection/garden/display/formal grounds/research center/etc, divided into areas like "Shakespeare's Garden" (plants mentioned in Shakespeare), The Fragrant Garden (plants that smell good or have funny textures), and a Japanese Hill-and-Pond Garden (that's pretty self-explanatory). So, of course, I took photographs!

A Weeping Willow tree.
A dragonfly at the Lily Pool.
Okay, I know everyone takes pictures of the lotuses. But they're so pretty! It's hard to resist.
A goldfish in the Lily Pool.
I couldn't quite get the right shade of this flower with my camera. It should be an insanely vivid neon, like a hallucinogenic sunset.
The koi in the Japanese pond going crazy. I didn't see anyone feeding them, but there was quite a frenzy going on.
