Hiya ladybugs!
I've got the honor of filling in for the lovely P today, while she is off chasing puffins and taming wild foals in Iceland with Fauxhawk (that's Fjohokk in Viking--the J is silent). I blog over at Designers' Brew, and the most important thing you need to know about me is that shoes are to me as baby animals are to Miss P.
I was thinking recently that one of the loveliest things about living in New York for a long time is the gradual accumulation of glimpses of secret, magical places--the places that circumstances take you to purely by luck and timing--the corners of the city that almost nobody else gets to see. Of course, I never seem to have my camera on me when I stumble upon these places. But in any case, here's a collection of secret gardens to see you off into your weekend... may you have many a chance to push open that courtyard door!

And one of my favorite secret spots, the beautiful library of Exeter College at Oxford--when you climb up that sagging stone staircase, you get a view of the city that will steal your breath. (images courtesy of Follow Anna)
