I know I haven't been posting recently. It's not that I don't have any photos - I have a ton waiting to be converted to black and white - and it's not that I don't want to blog. It's just that I'm really trying to focus on my other blog, Danish Poet, which I'm really having a blast with. So I'm retiring this blog. Not for too long, but long enough where I can't give an exact date to when I'm going to start posting again. Retire isn't even a good word. I'm taking a break. This isn't a goodbye necessarily, but a see you later. However, I feel I should say thanks to all those who have been supporting me since the beginning of this blog - you know who you are. 

I'd feel guilty leaving this post without one last photo - so here's one I took at the gardens.

Guarding Knight

There's that knight again, this time guarding the gateway to... what do you think?

Trees & Rooftop Silhouette

This is a photograph I took of the edges of tree branches, framing the rooftop of an old building in a stark silhouette.

Charity

This is a photograph I took of a man giving money to the poor in New York City. 

Two Roses

Remember that garden I was talking about the other day? Well, the garden had a huge section devoted to roses, and this is a photo I took from the rose section. It reminds me of one of those Hallmark Valentine's Day cards. The only thing missing is some white cursive script beneath the flowers reading "Happy Valentine's Day".

Coaster

This is a picture I took of a beautifully designed Christmas coaster, ordered from the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art catalog. You'll find that they have some really creative stuff in that magazine if you ever get around to reading it.

Arboretum Gates

This is a picture I took of the top of a building that houses hundreds of plants in a college near where I live. Surrounding the building is a beautiful, gigantic garden, which I'll be posting pictures of throughout the week.
