Broken Reflections
I like the disjointed reflections in the puddles after the rain stopped. Shot this past March at the NY Botanical Garden.
The New York Botanical Garden is a museum of plants, an educational institution, and a scientific research organization. Founded in 1891 & now a National Historic Landmark, it is one of the greatest botanical gardens in the world. http://www.nybg.org/

From the Library: Baby on a Waterlily
This is a baby on a water lily (Victoria amazonica), but there is no other information—names, year?—in the archives about this photograph.
Any suggestions?

From the Library: Play Ball!
It is Major League Baseball’s Opening Day, but did you know that The New York Botanical Garden once fielded its own baseball team? Here is a photo of the 1938 squad - David the bat boy included.

From the Library: Mr. Williams’s Lesson
Robert S. Williams, an early administrator at The New York Botanical Garden, instructs schoolchildren on mosses and ferns in the Garden’s Forest. We’re unsure about the exact date of this photograph but it was taken circa 1911. The children—almost all of them, anyway—seem interested in their lesson.
