Quiet Times

In this place where the chatter of the ocean is center stage, I practice the art of eavesdropping.

Flower of the Day – Hibiscus

I found this about the Hibiscus flower. I have seen the tea available, never tried it though.

Hibiscus flowers are large, colorful blossoms that grow in warm climates. The flowers can be eaten raw but are often used to make herbal tea. Some research suggests that hibiscus may have a positive impact on cholesterol and blood pressure. I found this here.

Boardwalk at Coney Island..Sept 20, 2020

I am lightening up my photo pile and came across this one. It was taken on a walk on the Boardwalk in Coney Island in 2020. I must have been on my yearly pilgrimage for my Nathan’s hot dog, cheesy fries, caramel apple, cotton candy and that walnut or pecan rolled onto some very sweet sugary thing that’s covering a marshmallow, that is not good for me at all! Hence, the yearly pilgrimage. Memories!

Flower of The Day – Orchid

I am travelling and this was in a friends outdoor garden. A co-existence of sorts. It lives on the trunk of a small tree which was clad in its stringy roots. I thought it was doing a parasitic stint onto this tree. But, the ‘green thumb’ said no. They have clearly come to an understanding.

For Flower of the Day over at Cees Blog. To participate or just look go here.

Thursday Doors

This is a church door I passed by on my way to the high line last week. It was on W19th between 9th & 10th Ave. Tried to dig up some info on it with little success. So, I decided to delight in its architecture.

Only one this week. For Thursday Doors over at No Facilities with Dan. To view others or to participate go here.
