Click on the photo to make it bigger. Between the pond and the buildings, there are hedgerows of privet, newly trimmed. I only started to appreciate the privet (Ligustrum) after I saw it like this from a distance.
It's also nice up close when it's in flower. 
These panicles of fragrant white flowers are reminiscent of lilac.
Here's another view of the hedgerow in winter. Click to see.
good snap of the statue of liberty in the background!
ReplyDeleteI was so focused on the privet hedge that I hadn't even noticed! Thanks for pointing it out, Allison.
ReplyDeletei like these images, among other reasons, for showing us the urban context in which green-wood sits.
ReplyDeletethe last image is very nice indeed.
