Now that we are fully into the summer season, there are so many things to see and places to go! Last weekend, I visited Brooklyn's Botanical Garden and it was truly a beautiful place to visit. On Saturdays and Sundays, Brooklyn Botanical Gardens' admission is free before noon, after noon it is the regular admission fee of $12.
If you are a person who loves spending time taking in nature, an artist who loves to draw, or a person who prefers to have lunch outdoors, this is a great place to do that.
Here, you could find many different types of small plants and trees. You can also see Mother Nature's animals at their best. There I saw chipmunks and different species of birds, and insects. Oh how I hate the insects! I actually got stung by a bee on this visit! This experience only supported my dislike for insects even more. But hey! It's life! I think the bees were attracted to my perfume and bright colored skirt. Despite that incident, I sat on one of the benches that were available and took that time to reflect on my life and life goals.
With the hustle and bustle of New York City, its important to take the time out to self reflect, find your inner peace, and notice the true beauty of the wild life around us.
I had fun that morning at the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens. There is so much there to see. I didn't include any pictures of the various gardens because I would like you to experience it yourself.
Thanks for reading!
