Coney Island, Brooklyn, NY

I had a great day lounging on the beach, walking the Boardwalk and along the sandy beach. It was a gorgeous day.  Outstanding weather.

It has been close to 15 years since I last visited Coney Island and there have been lots of changes. The place is really built up with plenty of new shops, stores and restaurants. Much cleaner than in past years. Lots of improvements. Wow!

No. I don’t swim but I did stick my toes in the surf as you will see in the below video.  Me and roller-coasters are not friends so no getting on stomach turning rides. Next time I think I might try the Bumper Cars. I always Loved Bumper Cars. Fun. Nothing like a beautiful sunny day filled with Sun, sea, sand and surf!

This is my favorite photo of today’s excursion into the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.  The Butterfly stayed still and allowed me to get close enough to take this great picture!

Trail Talks with DeBorah 


Trail Talks at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden Flatbush Avenue Entrance.
In the first video I keep saying Prospect Park because I had just come from there but I was actually in the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. Sorry for the mistake. I also apologize for some of the video quality. One day I hope to have a better video type camera and some better video taking skills. A Desire of my heart is to just tour New York State Green Spaces giving Trail Talks. Thank you for bearing with me.

In this first video I mistakenly say Prospect Park because I had just come out of Prospect Park but I was really inside the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.  Sorry for the Error.
