Nature transect walk in New York City

Today, on our morning walk, my younger kiddo said to me unprompted, "It is green here." Yes, the city is green. There are trees and other plants, insects and other animals. Fungi, too. I didn't intend our family walk to be a nature excursion, but my kiddo's astute comment made it so. Enjoy this photo walk of a west to east transect in lower Manhattan.
