The Garden
Sorry to say that none of the sculptures in
Socrates Sculpture Park captured my attention.

On July 17, 2011, I visited the Queens Botanical Garden on Main Street.  Though small, I was able to take the
following photos.  The transfer between the Garden and Flushing Meadows Corona Park was closed and possibly
no longer used.
