We’re not sure what happened at Brooklyn’s Shore Road Park at 75th Street, but there is clearly a plaque that is missing from this scene.

There’s a flagpole, a cut piece of stone, and no plaque attached to it.  The stone is so smooth that it doesn’t even look as though a plaque was ever attached to it.

So, if you see a plague with a random dedication on it laying out and about, call 311, eh?

It’s cool to see the seasons change before our eyes by way of looking up at the sky.  Despite it being the middle of August, that’s autumn sky and it feels so good to be under.

Kind of like how being under the sun on a 60 degree day during the January thaw feels so good.

We found this bee pollinating a random squash-type of plant that was growing along the edge of Shore Road Park in Brooklyn, NY.

Right after we snapped this pic the bee that had originally caught our eyes and had been on this bloom came back and stung this one.  A small aerial fight ensued and this bee came back to the bloom.  Anarchy in the urban wildlife…TOTAL COOLNESS!!!

Despite an almost entire lack of history related posts on this site, we have a touch of the history geek gene in us that shines in every now and then.  (For instance, the Peter Stuyvesant gravesite post.)

Anyway, we stepped foot into the old Barkuloo Family Cemetery, which is also known as the Revolutionary War Cemetery, for the first time recently — it’s always been locked, but we found it to be oddly unlocked, allowing for us to enter.  To our shock, we found the grave of a man whom we’ve read about, Simon Cortelyou.

Our soul did a little dance around us due to the excitement while we stood still to respect the grave.

If you’re from Brooklyn, you know the family name thanks to a subway stop being named Cortelyou, but either way, if you’d like an intriguing read about one of America’s oldest European families, by all means, take a read.

This is merely one of the many perks that comes from being friendly to neighbors: FIGS!

We believe that it was Aristotle, or that it at the very least should have been Aristotle to say, “Never make an enemy of a man who has two fig trees growing in his garden.”
