Hopefully you’ve had a chance to go outside and enjoy the weather today! I took a break just before lunch to stretch out on a picnic blanket at the Brooklyn Bridge Park, just like Marie over at 66 Square Feet recently did. (I highly recommend this approach to your work day.) It’s hard not to admire how green and lovely the parks are getting with this beautiful summery weather, and the round-up of Flickr faves below certainly reflects that.
Take a load off, drink a few sips of a nice iced coffee, and enjoy these picks!

Thanks, Jill!
What great pics and picks; I especially like Untitled and the Lake – I’m going to link back to you…this isn’t the Brooklyn that much of the world knows :-)

I clicked here from Marie’s blog. Off now to look at more…

Oh my gosh! Thanks so much for the post, Marie — it totally tickled me pink tonight. I’ve been following your blog for a long time now, and you’re always full of inspiration!
And Dinah, Webb — thanks for joining us here! It’s definitely on my wish list to feature more gardens in Brooklyn. There’s lots of beautiful urban gardening here, including some personal projects I’ve got up my sleeve… :)
