A Short Walk Around the Brooklyn Botanic Garden

- August 27, 2025

I recently took a walk in the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. I was meeting an old friend whom I used to work with. She wanted a copy of my book. Jackie is also successful online with a large follower and has traveled around the world since she retired from teaching.

There isn't much to say, except that the two of us might've gotten lost looking for each other. We, unfortunately, used different entrances, and the roads are twisty in the garden. I finally met her by the rose garden.

So there are some random pictures of trees and flowers, followed by some of the celebrities on the Brooklyn Walk of Fame.

Brooklyn has its own Walk of Fame. Some of the stones have faded a bit, and a few of them (near the sides of the walk) are covered with foilage. There is plenty of space for more names, and there are some that look like they've been added recently. (Not to mention, some of the celebrities haven't been famous for all that long.)

I looked up quite a few of the older ones (and a couple of the newer ones, too). I know the names of many of the older famous Brooklyn actors and singers because they were still around in the 70s and 80s, even if they weren't performing, or because their movies were on TV a lot. And because I'd hear my parents (and folks their age) talk about them. On the other hand, there were some musicians or band leaders whom I wasn't aware of.

Anyway, I only took a few pictures, and a couple were unreadable.

This final picture was in the train station on the way home. The station is worthy of the Brooklyn Museum, which is next to the Garden.

That's all for now. Please buy, read, and review my books! Most are available on Kindle Unlimited! Ask your library to carry them!
