City Limits

This past Sunday was a stunning day to be outdoors. My friend Cassie and I escaped for a few hours and took the short ferry ride over to Governor's Island for the Fete Paradiso (photos from that to come, I promise!). 

I'm a little ashamed to admit, I've lived here in NYC (well, Brooklyn, but I work in Manhattan, so close enough) and I had never been to Governor's Island before this past weekend. A beautiful parkscape a short *free* ferry ride outside of the city, perfect for picnicking and wandering and forgetting, if only for a few hours, that the concrete jungle is just beyond that short gap of the East River.

Daydreaming.

Maybe it's the grey hues in the sky today that have me a little unfocused and daydreaming about my trip to Ireland just a few short months ago. (Months? Has it been months already?)

I don't think I've ever been anywhere more naturally beautiful, more untouched, more regal in its natural landscape. 

Now I find myself aching to get out of the city and reconnect to something, anything, green.
