High times on the High Line

Kevin & I needed some time to be together.  He'd heard about the High Line & was curious to explore the planting in the park built on an old elevated railroad.  

It's awesome.

We ascended at 14th street and walked the entirety.  We absolutely want to visit in every season.  The planting seems mainly native species and perennial, though a lot of the plants were new to us.  Kevin picked up a plant guide & is busily studying.


In preparation for our late afternoon class at Jivamukti Yoga School, I practiced a bit of eka pada raja kapotasana in the sun.


Mint!  I'm usually a big advocate of putting mint in some type of container.  It loves to spread.  The planting was smart-- the surrounding grasses have deep root systems that contain the mint.  Nice neighbors!


Another plant befuddling Kevin.  He loves berries & blossoms!  (We discovered it's a chokeberry tree.  Delicious!)

& I love a day with him!
