SPLASH OF BROOKLYN COLOR

It's officially Spring in New York! 

Sure, it's still chilly but if you look closely you'll find young bulbs starting to peek out of the earth and new buds on the trees. It was only 30 degrees here in Brooklyn this morning but I was determined to find a splash of color for you. 

A bed of crocuses blooming on Abermarle Road just down from our apartment on East 16th.

Brooklyn Public Library's doors at Grand Army Plaza are some spectacular bling and with the Brooklyn Museum located just down the road, also a great tourist attraction in summer.

One of the many pre-war apartment buildings in Park Slope.

To the victor go the spoils...in this case the Blue Team who won this game of girls' soccer played at our local parade grounds on Caton Avenue.

Early morning flea market in the school grounds on 7th Avenue, Park Slope.
