"The Ecology Center works toward a more sustainable New York City by providing community-based recycling and composting programs, developing local stewardship of green space, increasing community awareness, and sponsoring Youth development through environmental education programs. Founded in 1987, one of the first organizations to offer community-based recycling and composting programs in NYC by providing innovative recycling drop-off centers. Today the Ecology Center offers services and education for a range of environmental subjects with resources and solutions for addressing the issues."

 My neighbor, Ron Sherbet

views the Williamsburg Bridge from one side...

and the other, as we wend our way toward home

passing flowering young trees

and native grasses along the way

providing landscape interest.
They make a joyful noise when the wind blows.

SOMETIMES I JUST NEED TO TALK

Headed down town under the Williamsburg Bridge

passed this glorious trumpet vine growing on chain link

 Then  through the passage behind PS 134

where I admired this heartfelt mural

 To Betances Family Health Care Clinic

Where I've been going for decades, and where my primary care Doctor is.  I've got a new health issue to deal with suddenly, which I'm hoping is easily resolvable and not the worst scenario.  My digestive system has been on the fritz about two months intermittently so my primary care doctor has referred me to a gastro-enterologist for consultation, July 20th was the first available appointment.  Afterward there will be a colonoscopy scheduled, and then I will know just what I'm facing.  Meanwhile, I'm determined not to be caught up in the worry syndrome.  The first thing I did when I made the appointment was to cook.  It comforts me, is about nurturing, and makes the apartment smell friendly.  I made five or six different dishes, packed them away,  and now I'm enjoying PBS "Wild Flyers" - "How do animals take to the air in the first place? Each of the incredible creatures we’ll meet has its own special techniques. But they must all overcome one of the planet’s most powerful and universal forces – gravity."
