In the winter, the eye can rest. There are fewer colors, textures, and distractions from the bones of the light-painted landscape.

Morning Eye Candy: And Still They Linger

The Peggy Rockefeller Rose Garden is closed until spring, but some roses persist–like this beauty in the Home Gardening Center–despite the snow and frost.

First Snow
Posted in Photography on December 14 2010, by Plant Talk
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!
The Train Show–From the Kid’s Point of View

On Sunday, as promised a month ago, I was finally able to bring my nephews, ages 2 and 5, up to the Holiday Train Show. They were blown away by the experience and were predictably thrilled to see their good buddy Thomas in attendance.
What surprised me was when my older nephew, Jasper, grabbed my hand while I was snapping a picture. Jasper pulled me down to his level and said “Annie, you’re not taking the right pictures. Can I try?” And so, with a slight hesitation, I turned over my trusty G9 to the tiny hands of my nephew.

Larry Lederman, photographer and friend of the Garden (he’s a member of our Advisory Board), has a beautiful exhibit of large-scale tree photographs up right now in the lobby of the amazing Four Seasons restaurant in Manhattan. Stop by when you need a break from all your Christmas shopping!

Morning Eye Candy: Fluffy

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

Morning Eye Candy: What’s Left

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