We jaunted over to the Easy Coast this summer. T** and I went to NY. I had a whole different thing planned with J*** but then he ended up not able to go. I am versatile! I can adapt! T** and I did have a good time.
We visited the High Line again. They had a cool native plant area and some pretty cool art. I think this was a part I had never been to.
More beautiful plants and interesting spaces. Adding to the native plant exhibit they had a new prairie grasslands area all planted up. The contrast of the wild and messy plants with the industrial leftovers of the railroad and the NY skyline makes me feel a bit weepy? I am not sure why! It is just so pretty but then also makes me think about the apocalypse and rewilding of urban landscapes contaminated by humans.
We stopped and cooled our feet at this fountain again. I love this fountain! We stopped to have a frose again as well before heading down to the food market right below here.
For a bit of a new adventure we walked to Little Island. I had not been here before (it is pretty new) I think it was maybe under contraction the last time we were here? Either way I had not even heard about it until I was looking around for more gardens to visit for this trip. Like, wtf?! This is so super cool!! This is a park built on an artificial island on piers out on the water!
Oaky, wow. I am having trouble with all my photos from Little Island! I do not know what is up but I will have to come back to this post when I figure it out. :(
In the meantime you can checkout the wikipedia page for Little Island.
