It was a very blustery Autumn day last Friday, and before all the leaves blew off the trees here in Brooklyn, New York, I thought I better go out and take some photos to capture their beauty.
I was in Park Slope, walking around Fifth and Seventh Aves. As you can see more than one tree grows in Brooklyn, and they were scattering golden and red leaves all over the stoops and sidewalks.
There is an eclectic assortment of homes in this neighborhood, many dating back to the 1800's. This charming house looks like it may have been a carriage house at one time, judging from the large doors.
A block of vintage apartment houses.
Another block has brownstones in different color hues.
Don't these wood clapboard homes look like they could be found in Colornial Williamsburg?
These views remind me of an Edward Hopper painting.
I found this small public corner garden charming!
The avenues in Park Slope, Brooklyn are full of interesting shops and boutiques.
And some stores cater to Brooklyn pride.
Park Slope is considered one of the most desirable neighborhoods, and it is easy to see why!
I'm adding this post to the following blog events:
