White Point Gardens

We're in this park alot. Its big, plenty of room for the dogs and grandchild to run and play. The big gnarly oak trees give lots of shade.
Its beautiful day or night, and we like to have picnics here. We often see dolphins feeding in the waters.
The 'star' of the park is this beautiful big old gazebo. Just look at all the magnificent workmanship!

Looks like I've been "photo-bombed". Get out of my pictures, Yellow Pony!

OOOOOps, there is it again. Excuse me Yellow Pony With the Pink Hair.......do you mind?...

Our temperatures are in the 70s this week.......nice weather for a walk around the Battery.

So.........what do you think this story is? She's wearing a white dress......did they just get married? Nah......he's dressed way too casual. Maybe they are going to a birthday party or shower and taking flowers? Maybe they are getting ready to attend a wedding, and she is making the bridal bouquet? Maybe they are on their honeymoon, and heading home?

Hello again, Yellow Pony With the Pink Hair, trying to get into my street sign photos!

The Palmer House showing off her pretty windows, old architecture, and brand new coat of pink paint. She sure is a beauty! We have watched many a wedding come and go here.

"What Central Park is to New Yorkers, White Point Garden is to us."......says Yellow Pony with the Pink Hair, as she scampers off in search of other ponies to play with her.

What a beautiful park! I love those old oaks, and that shot through the gazebo is lovely. We don't have huge oaks like that here, but I've always admired them. Thanks for stopping by mine! Have a great weekend :)

Such a pretty park, nice to have one so close. We are having record warmth here at the jersey shore, it's 69 degrees right now, it's hard to believe it's December!! The Palmer house is lovely, it's hard to not love it!!

Tonight's Micromoon--we watched it rise over the Battery tonight, it was red and orange

Skywatchers in Central, Mountain and Pacific time zones will get a view of the full moon tonight (Sept. 13) at 11:32 p.m., 10:32 p.m. and 9:32 p.m., respectively, while East Coasters will see the moon at its fullest at 12:32 a.m. on the 14th. Regardless of time zone, the moon will appear just a bit dimmer than usual (eerie!), because it will be at apogee, or its farthest distance from Earth. That means that the moon will appear about 14% smaller and 30% dimmer than when it is at its closest point to Earth, which is known as perigee. (Livescience.com)

LETS END KILLER WHALE CAPTIVITY!!

Please research the captive killer orcas that the SEAWORLD franchise holds captive. It is animal cruelty at it's worst. Those killer whales need to be FREE, NOT HELD CAPTIVE BY us humans and forced to do 'tricks' for our amusement. (and to make SEAWORLD a lot of money. ) Please go watch BLACKFISH when y'all have time okay? also read "Killer at Seaworld". You will learn so much and I doubt if you ever pay entrance fees to enter SEAWORLD or any of it's affiliate parks again.........because you will learn what the money really goes for........PROFIT. Their profit...........the poor whales gain nothing. But life captivity. Sad lonely lives in bathtub size enclosures where they cant even interact with their own pods and offspring normally. Many of them are so sick and die very painful deaths.The 'breeding' program is a joke. They are not even allowed to procreate in a natural and normal manner. The whales that were caught in the wild were taken from their pods and their mothers in a very cruel and inhumane fashion---it is heartbreaking. It's awful sad. Please research and then let me know what you think, okay? Whales are magnificent creatures, I love them. I tell everybody it's okay to love them and to want to go see them......but please go to areas where you can view them in the wild either from the beaches or cliffs or from boats. Not from cement swimming pools where they are mis-treated, gawked at, and forced to 'perform'. God created them and intended for them to exist in the seas! They really need to remain free........................
