Fireman Mural

I came across this huge (take a look at the pedestrians on the sidewalk below for a sense of scale) mural during my last visit to New York City (Manhattan). It’s located at 780 Third Avenue (at 49th Street).

Painted by renowned Brazilian street artist Eduardo Kobra and revealed in 2018, this mural of a fireman in mourning graces a midtown building in New York City. It reflects the bravery of the first responders who lost their lives as a result of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Flowers near the Library

I volunteer at the Briarcliff Manor – Scarborough Historical Society (BMSHS), which is located in the same building as the Briarcliff Manor Recreation Department, The Vescio Community Center, and the Briarcliff Public Library.

The picture above was taken in some flower beds right outside the main entrance to the library. I believe it’s a purple Allium.

I’m not sure what the next two flowers are. The first picture looks like it might be Woodland Poppy. The second looks like Forget-me-not. They were taken alongside the Pocantico River, which passes right by the rear entrance to the library (via the Recreation Department and the BMSHS).


The final picture was taken outside of where I work. You can see it through our windows. I think it’s apple blossom.
