In case you haven't caught on yet, 4:15, the Closing Bell post is SUPPOSED TO BE a light, throwaway post.

Saw them on Sunday - prime, and beautiful. One of my favorite spots in NY. In the cherry tree allee, you feel like you aren't in the middle of a big city - very peaceful. I make sure I get there every spring when they are in bloom. These trees - and the whole garden - are a real Brooklyn, and NYC, treasure.

Went last Saturday, they are spectacular.

I will go again when the flowers have fallen. I love seeing the field in a blanket of pink.

Saturday's 10:00am - 12:00 Noon, Free Admission...can't beat that.

Green-Wood Cemetery's cherries are even better than BBG. Older, larger and quite frankly, more of them.

Not to mention the magnolias, dogwoods and all.

Take a stroll over to the main gates at 25th St. and 5th Ave. Either walk toward Valley Water or straight up Battle Hill.

Fabulous.

(though I love BBG too)

Awww...man. That was lovely. Sort of hypnotic. And I loved the music.

I also loved that it was so Brooklyn, put together by and music by.

Thanks!

Now, if only I could cure my husband's allergies!

And after the cherries come lilacs, azaleas, iris, bluebells, roses.... it's a nonstop show!
