It is beautiful<\/em> here today. Just in case you can’t make it out of your office to hop a train and come up to the Bronx, I thought I’d take a walk and snap some pictures for you. It’s more than just beautiful out, too. According to one birder I met today, it’s also prime warbler migrating time. As he put it, the next two weeks will be “warbler heaven.” So whether you’re a birder, photographer, gardener, or walker, now is the time to come and visit the Garden<\/a>!<\/p>\n

As I was taking this photo on the Seasonal Walk, I asked a gentleman who was also taking pictures if he was getting any good shots today. He replied "If you can't get a good picture here, you better give up the hobby."<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
