In the mornings, when we’re all exiting the train at Botanical Garden Station, this stand of pampas grass is all atwitter with a flock of sparrows that call it home.

A little afternoon “Eye Candy” for you. It snowed overnight in New York City, and we all woke up to a winter wonderland.
There’s nothing that gets us in the holiday spirit quite like a pretty little snowfall (especially one that doesn’t stick around too long, turning into gray mush).
So if you come for a visit today (the Garden is open until 6 p.m. after all!) wear a nice, warm pair of boots.
And remember the Holiday Train Show and Gingerbread Adventures are both inside!

Like a purple fox’s tail. Or a firework on July Fourth. Another way to look at fountain grass.

Many of the leaves have left, but that just let’s us see more clearly the shape of the landscape.
