Another gorgeous fall day at New York Botanical Gardens spent hiking around the new trails and watching people canoe, watercolor, read poetry and just explore the forest.

See more photographs from the reopening of the Thain Family Forest this weekend.

Inside the tree:

This is the Hester Bridge, which has an incredible curve to it.

The sign said that the Hester Bridge was used for the opening credits of Sesame Street in the 70’s. Now, I’ve been watching lots of YouTube today, but I can’t find any proof of it. Can anyone else find a screenshot or video?
