Under the Toy Tower
It’s been 4 years since Eddie Boros died and three years since the Toy Tower was torn down. Now with the addition of this bench to the 6th and B Community Garden, the place where the Toy Tower was seems complete. The trellis supports the roses that once twined on the northwest corner of the tower.

This guy had the grace to hold a pose long enough for me to focus and get some goldfish in the background.

Pollinators
I can usually count on finding bees and such browsing for nectar in the flowery northeast corner of the 6th and B Community Garden. There were only a few this past Sunday.
