Backyard and Beyond

Starting out from Brooklyn, an amateur naturalist explores our world.

As John Burroughs said, “The place to observe nature is where you are.”

    That’s beautiful! I love murals. Owls seem to be in fashion this year from girlie knick-knacks to your snowys (also in Ohio: http://jimmccormac.blogspot.com/search/label/snowy%20owl).

      York Street, just south of the Manhattan Bridge. Best time to see it is now, without the leaves.

        P.S. around the corner through the tunnel are some interesting murals.

    Thanks – I am definitely going to search them out – but probably not today. Brrrr!

    I tried to find them on Google Maps street view but they must be more recent. Definitely worth the search!

      The DUMBO mural program only dates to this last summer.
