Entering Isham Park on Broadway.
Walking along.
Afternoon blunt. His head was enveloped in a cloud of smoke.
Soon it will be dark.
A woman named Maria tends to that garden by planting unrooted and discarded plants and clippings in the ground, nurturing them until they sprout in the spring.
Winding its way to the light.
Ledge along east side of park.
Broadway peeking through.
Love this pop of green.
So shiny.
I always think of the snow covering this birdhouse in Bruce's Garden.
Wet.
Red.
Light.
Rose.
Sky.
Dark.

From Martin Collins, community liaison for Assembly Member Adriano Espaillat, regarding Columbia's plan to build a new sports complex and waterfront space on the northernmost tip of Inwood Hill Park:
Columbia University will discuss its Baker Field development plans
at the joint Community Board 12 Land Use & Parks Committee meeting
on Wednesday, November 4 at 7:00 pm at the board office, 711 West 168
Street (entrance on Haven Avenue). It is important that neighborhood
residents attend the meeting to ensure that community input and
concerns are heard.
Columbia proposes to build a 47,000 sq.ft., five-story sports
complex on its property on the northwest corner of West 218th Street
and Broadway; the university also proposes to develop a one acre
waterfront park with the cooperation of the NYC Department of Parks
& Recreation that will join the northern tip of Inwood Hill Park to
Columbia's waterfront property north of West 218th Street and west of Indian Road.

A walk through Inwood Park with a 1/2 hour beginning yoga class.
A short (two hours, at the most) nature hike through the woods - actually Manhattan's last, and only, second growth forest (some trees over 3 feet wide!). Learn a little about the ecology and geology of the area and what birds and mammals are in the park.
Half way through the walk we will stop at the top meadow for a 1/2 hour beginning yoga class in the woods. NoMO member Rebecca will lead us in basic yoga moves, standing meditation, relaxation and breathing techniques that will invigorate.
No mats are needed, for this beginner class we will be standing the entire time. All experience levels are welcome for the beginning yoga class. Even if you've never tried yoga before, you will find this to be enjoyable.
About our instructor - Rebecca has been practicing yoga for 18 years, Buddhist meditation for 8, and received her 200-hour teaching certification in Kripalu-inspired Prana Yoga from The New York Open Center.
Recently Rebecca gave a quick yoga class on a GWB/Long Path walk and it was very relaxing and fun.
The walk itself is fairly short, two miles up and down hills on old paved trails. At most you might want to bring a hat, dress loosely for the yoga class and bring a bottle of water.
Meet at the corner of Dyckman St. and Payson Ave - right by the playground(we'll enter the park on Payson Ave.). Payson Ave is a few blocks west of Broadway. 1 or A train to Dyckman St. stop.
We will begin at 12:00 noon. The A train Shuttle bus is scheduled to run that day - please leave extra travel time. And to think I actually believed the MTA when they said they were done with the shuttle bus... :)
We'll end the hike by the soccer fields pretty close to Indian Road Cafe where you can grab a coffee or iced mocha chai latte for the walk home.
*The walk ends at the north end of the park - you can walk east on 218th St. to catch a bus on Broadway or the 1 at 215th St., or pass by the ballfields and head east on Isham to catch the A at 207th.*
$4 fee
Earlier this week I passed a cluster of bees on the last remaining flowers just inside the northern side of Isham Park. They were not moving and were scattered around the flowers. They looked as if they were dead or asleep.
Yesterday, I took Ben to the flowers to take a look, and as we were photographing the bees, they began to move, very slowly. Turns out some bees hibernate. Still, it seems odd that they would do so in plain view like that and not in a space that is a bit more secluded. Anyone know anything about this?
According to my neighborhood sources, the downed trees have been cleaned up.
My apologies for the bad photos, but I was in a bit of a rush and only had my camera phone. The high winds last night and yesterday seem to have done some damage to my favorite garden in Manhattan and certainly Inwood. Take a look at the wreckage which was Bruce's Garden on Park Terrace East for yourself.
