Stinky Hawthorn Flowers and Butterflies
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.
