Close-up of frozen puddle, Morningside Drive and 116th Street.
Dried seed ball of a sweetgum tree at 116th Street and Morningside Ave. The sap from sweetgum trees has been used to treat wounds, respitory ailments, dysentery, and as a chewing gum (from "New York City Trees").
It hasn't all been plastic animals this week. I climb Morningside Park's 116th Street stairs (159 steps!) every morning to catch the bus to campus.
