A real treasure right behind my house.

I am lucky that although I do live in New York City, there is a forest walking distance from my house. As a nature lover, driving by big trees every day is very nice especially when you are surrounded by so much development. Well today I took some pics during a walk into the forest and i was very surprised to see some blooming swamp hibiscus. Actually not some, a LOT of them. They lined the entire bank of the pond. It really was a sight to see, pics don't even do it justice, but it is better than nothing!

Thanks for looking!
