Winter Pines of our Local Area February 27th

A gorgeous day for a walk focusing on those trees that keep their green throughout winter. For the walk, a tour of Prospect and Greenwood's pine trees and other conifers and surrounding perimeters yields 40 species for a 5+ mile walk. And in between ,a stop at the Oak Leaf Tavern on Fort Hamilton Parkway made it a nice fulfilling respite before Greenwood Cemetery.
