Brooklyn Botanic Garden
A year ago, last September, I trekked down to Brooklyn to check out the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, which I had somehow never been to despite more than five years in New York. We had a lot of space to ourselves as not too many people were there that afternoon, so it was nice and peaceful as we explored the gardens and greenhouses. There were still plenty of flowers and the leaves were only beginning to change colors, the day only a bit cooler than summer, but I’d really like to visit again when it’s fully fall, as well as during peak spring season. I brought along my film camera and finished up a roll of Portra 400 while we walked around.

I sporadically took photos in March and then got the roll developed in early April.
