The Bronx: New York Botanical Gardens
You missed my favorite NYBG fountain, come back and visit! This one’s waiting for you. ~AR cityfountains: How lovely it is here. Sadly the day I visited it was almost 100° outside, so my time spent wandering the grounds was cut short due to my being allergic to summer. Above is the Fountain of Life in front of the Mertz Library. It’s actually now the Lillian Goldman Fountain of...

Drought, heat bring spiders, bugs out – The Chart... →
So, at first I was really excited to read this explanation as to why I have been seeing more spiders this summer than in summers past. And then I read it, and it just turned into a huge scare-mongering piece about brown recluse spiders. Now, I get it; brown recluse spider bites can be very dangerous, but come on.

He’s also an amazing person to talk to (I know, I got to spend several hours just listening to him talk about Monet while we were filming this video).

iPhone's Siri misidentifies poison oak in ad →
There are so many points worth noting in this story of an Apple ad gone botanically awry. If you’re going to be spending a lot of time in the woods, you should not rely on your phone for anything. If the woods are quality woods, you probably won’t have any cellphone reception in the first place, so: a. Make sure you tell someone where you’re going and when you expect to be back...
