Walking around Shore Road Promanade & Botanical Garder May 20. Must people walk around and don't pay attention to small details and how beautiful are God's creations. I enjoyed & discover how fortunate we are to be surrounded with such beauty and simple things. APPRECIATE IT!! If you are sad, down, lonely, stress out ,too many things in your mind or just because....this walk to discovery will help you so much. Garden: The roses in the garden at full bloom with vibrant colors .Trees have different branches and odd shapes, some very long, serving as places with shade to quietly read a book or meditate..Some people's taking the sun and lying down in the grass enjoying it. Teenegers playing baseball, football. Others are reading a book, going for a run, a walk or just to relax. Kids are flying kites or been kids in the playground. Older men's playing basketball. Couples walking the best friend- doggie, chatting on the benches or listening to music. Nature is at his best, Bees taking the sweet nectar of the roses, birds looking for food or something to nest or showing their love site. Dogs Enjoying the walk or playing. They are all busy, wondering, exercising observing, in deep thoughts worrying about daily problems. It's all a routine, but take the time to look around and will discover lots of wonderful things. Keep going down into the promenade and look at the small waves crashing in the rocks, observe the swirling in the water and the bubbles left behind. Look at the distance, see the Manhattan skyline, the Statue of Liberty, the beautiful blue sky and the bright sun. Planes and birds in the sky, cormorants trying to get fishes, boats in the water, cool breeze caressing your face. As you walk by men fishing, old couples holding hands taking a walk, school young kids practicing their run, skaters, and the afternoon approaching, you realize, there's so much to see and you need to take a moment to take it all in. Park, promanade and the garden is all you need. Not a second alone. Is all there if you really look. Enjoy it!! Hope this helps...
