Ready to commit to a career in horticulture? Better make sure you’re not afraid of heights! Who knew that part of the job included occasional trips to the top of the dome of the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory?

I like to think that the insect sitting on the rose petal’s fringe is looking out across his own pale canyons in pink and salmon.

Per Pat Gonzalez, our local shutterbug and Visitor Services Attendant:
“For the first time since I began photographing wildlife at the NYBG in 2008, I was able to get clear, close-up shots of one of the hardest fine-feathered friends to shoot. Say hello to a female Ruby-throated Hummingbird.”

The Rock Garden is dense with greenery right now, and insular, but it’s only open through November before we button it up for the winter. You may want to find your way there with an All-Garden Pass for some zen time in the next month or two.

I know, it’s Monday, but there’s no cause to be glum or dreary. There are loud and lively things to look at!
