My quick trip to Brooklyn a few weekends ago included one incredibly beautiful fall day, and my walk through several neighborhoods yielded a small harvest of photos to share.
Cortelyou Road, on the side of the Flatbush Food Co-op.
On or near H Street in Midwood near Flatbush.
The H Street train station in Midwood -- the southbound platform was closed for reconstruction.
Park Slope, across the street from the Park Slope Co-op.
On 7th Avenue in Park Slope.
Elephants in Dumbo (a neighborhood so named because it is Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass).
Metal sculptures in Dumbo. Note the Manhattan Bridge arch in the background; there was a band playing inside the archway.
And the coolest street art of all, since it's everywhere -- the bark of the trees of Brooklyn.

More proof that "Art Happens". If I should ever go to New York, I would love to go with you!
You remind me of the little girl in the book Small Beauties by Elvira Woodruff:
From School Library Journal
Grade 2-5: Darcy Heart OHara, the only daughter in a large Irish family, lives in a small cottage in Pobble OKeefe in the 1840s. Born with a gift of seeing small beauties, she finds rocks, petals, and feathers and slips them into the hem of her ragged dress. The family reluctantly emigrates to America, and it is Darcys small beauties that remind them of their old home and give them strength to move on in their new one.
You have a gift for seeing small beauties, too.
Thanks!
