Bridge of flowers
Yes you read that right. I had been to visit a place called the Bridge of Flowers which is perennial garden bridge…what all kinda ideas people come up with. This place is supposedly claimed to be the only one of its kind in the world. This bridge was originally built for the Trolley line. After the Trolley line became obsolete in 1928, people (Antoinette and Walter Burnham) came up with the idea of turning this concrete structure into a bridge of flowers and it became a reality in the following year. Now that is some imagination.
The bridge plays host to over 500 different varieties of perennial flowers (believe me it’s a cornucopia out there but since I went in summer there were many flowers missing) and there is a Flowers Committee with a head gardener and they maintain this garden from spring through fall. There were trees on this bridge and I kept wondering where would the roots go? But well the trees were there bearing wild apple like thingies, only the apples were smaller.
This time of the year I think the Irises are in bloom and they were aplenty. There were a lot of roses too. Pleasing to the eye, this place is really nice. They have benches put up on the bridge where you can sit and view the flowers and each flower comes with its name tag and the flower in my previous post was there and I tried so hard to find its name. Looks like someone flicked the name tag; I even searched under the bushes, only in vain. Mind you, am still searching may be someone might come up with the name. (Just like one of the fellow bloggers told me that it was a Magnolia) I also got to see the Kingbird, you can see its pictures too..couldnt get a close up of it thought
The travelogues continue…

Statue of Liberty...
Now thats an odd title for this picture aint it? well I finally managed to visit the statue of liberty and once again took a lot of pictures. This particular one came out well with the details. I am still curious to know what is the name of this flower, coz i see it all around. i know its not a sunflower.
the ellis island and liberty island and then back onto the ferry. it was a humid hot day and had to stand in a long line to get on to the ferry. but it was a nice day altogether.
They were celebrating the swiss national day and they had so many programs goin on in Ellis Island for that.
Still travelling and exploring
and the journey continues.

Rose Garden
Recently visited a rose garden called elizabeth park rose garden. It looked really beautiful with so many gazebos and so many arches all covered with roses. I wish I had been there in Mid June to see this beautiful place in full bloom. They have concert series going on right now and I got to listen to some songs.
A rose is a rose is a rose..any one figured that out yet??huh!!
