Stinky Hawthorn Flowers and Butterflies
Monday, May 7th, 2012
Doing my rounds of photographing the trees of Tompkins square Park for my tree identification project, at first I thought people were peeing at the southeast entrance to the park. But no, it was just the flowers of this hawthorn tree. The strong fragrance attracted many Red Admiral butterflies which are migrating through NYC at the moment.

High above the Southeast corner of Tompkins Square Park this armless, winged angel stares out over the park. I’ve seen other angels with wings for arms around NYC.

Patch testing to see which paint remover will do the best job of leaving the stone pristine. The areas on the right of the photo are the results of earlier tests.
Black Locust Monolith
Saturday, April 14th, 2012
One of the gnarly black locusts in Tompkins Square Park had its limbs cut off. I suspect they are leaving it up hoping it sprouts new limbs like the other even gnarlier black locust further west on 7th.
You can see the tree fungus growing out of the trunk at the top. The squirrels loved this tree.
