Embracing the Dynamic Nature of New York

Introduction

New York, famously known as "The Big Apple," is a city that pulsates with vibrant energy, iconic landmarks, and a unique blend of urban and natural landscapes. While its towering skyscrapers and bustling streets define its urban persona, New York also boasts a diverse and awe-inspiring natural environment. In this article, we delve into the captivating nature of New York and explore the surprising pockets of serenity amidst the city's hustle and bustle.

Central Park (100 words): At the heart of Manhattan lies Central Park, an oasis spanning 843 acres of lush greenery, tranquil lakes, and winding paths. This urban sanctuary offers a respite from the concrete jungle, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in nature. The park's meadows, woodlands, and the iconic Great Lawn provide opportunities for relaxation, picnics, and recreational activities. Strolling through Central Park reveals a mosaic of seasonal colors, and the park's countless bridges, fountains, and gardens add to its charm. Central Park truly showcases the harmonious coexistence of nature and city life, making it a beloved escape for both locals and tourists.

The High Line Transforming abandoned elevated train tracks into an innovative public park, the High Line has become a testament to New York's commitment to urban nature preservation. This elevated park stretches for 1.45 miles along Manhattan's west side, offering breathtaking views of the city and the Hudson River. Lined with lush vegetation, vibrant flowers, and contemporary art installations, the High Line provides an elevated perspective of nature within an urban setting. As visitors wander along its pathways, they can marvel at the unique combination of industrial architecture and greenery, creating an enchanting and unexpected experience.

The Adirondacks For those seeking a natural retreat away from the city's frenetic pace, the Adirondack Mountains provide an idyllic destination. Located a few hours' drive from New York City, this vast wilderness spans over six million acres, encompassing magnificent peaks, pristine lakes, and abundant wildlife. Outdoor enthusiasts can engage in a myriad of activities, including hiking, camping, fishing, and skiing during the winter months. The Adirondacks offer a serene escape, where visitors can reconnect with nature, breathe in the crisp mountain air, and be captivated by the region's awe-inspiring beauty.

Governors Island Nestled in the New York Harbor, just a short ferry ride from Manhattan, Governors Island offers a unique blend of natural beauty and historical charm. This 172-acre island provides a tranquil escape with expansive parklands, wooded areas, and stunning waterfront views. Visitors can explore the island by foot or rent bicycles, enjoying scenic trails and panoramic vistas of the Statue of Liberty and Lower Manhattan. Governors Island also hosts various cultural events, including art exhibitions and festivals, adding a vibrant touch to its natural allure.

The Bronx Botanical Garden In the bustling borough of the Bronx, the New York Botanical Garden stands as an oasis of botanical splendor. Spanning 250 acres, this living museum showcases an extensive collection of plant species from around the world. The Enid A. Haupt Conservatory, with its lush tropical rainforest and desert landscapes, transports visitors to distant lands. Strolling through the garden's meticulously manicured landscapes, including the iconic Peggy Rockefeller Rose Garden and the Native Plant Garden, allows visitors to immerse themselves in the diverse wonders of nature.

Conclusion

Beyond its iconic skyscrapers and bustling streets, New York City boasts a captivating natural environment that offers respite and awe-inspiring beauty. From the serene landscapes of Central Park and the High Line to the wilderness of the Adirondacks and the botanical splendor of the Bronx Botanical Garden, New York's nature invites both residents and visitors to embrace its dynamic and enchanting charm.

Glasshouse

Pairing: Steve Rogers x Reader

Warning: Nothing – this one is a load of FLUFF

Written for the @cake-writes 1k followers challenge. Thanks for the prompt!

ooooo

“You’re fidgeting.” Pepper Potts smirked into her champagne.

Crossing your feet at the ankles, you tugged at the hem of your lavender cocktail gown. Cool air circulated through the back of the limo, but you wished you could roll the window down for fresh air. “You know I’m not very comfortable in dresses.”

“Well, I think you look lovely.” Tony Stark smiled.

“Thanks, but I know I look alright. I just prefer my jeans and boots.” You winked.

“Yeah,” Tony half turned to his girlfriend. “How come she gets away with the casual attire. How many times did force me into a suit?”

Pepper smiled. “No, I just tried to make sure you weren’t wearing the clothes from the night before. Y/N can dress however she wants. She’s my PA. She doesn’t work for the company. Besides, even in jeans she’s always stylish.”

“Thanks, Pep.” You grinned. “I’m really looking forward to this. I’ve always wondered what it looked like at night. Thanks for the invite.”

“No problem. It’s a great event.”

The limo pulled onto the road along the edge of the New York Botanical Gardens. It lined up with the other cars for a drop off at the steps of the Enid Haupt Conservatory. You could see the enormous Victorian-style glass house. The late afternoon sun shone off the panes.

“Is there going to be anyone else there that I know?” You asked.

“Joseph, Mike and Rachel from the CFO office with be there. Kim from the gallery is coming, too.” Pepper thought.

“I gave tickets to Rhodey Nat, Bruce and Cap.” Tony finished off his drink. “Although, I don’t know if they’ll come.”

You took a slow drink, silently hoping one in particular did.

As your limo pulled up to the Conservatory, you smiled. The entry courtyard looked beautiful with extra pots of late summer flowers, six foot candelabras with flickering electric bulbs, and a long carpets rolled out for guests.

Tony got out first, smiling for the photographers. He held his hand out for Pepper, who gracefully slid from the car. They posed for just a moment. Tony then reached out a hand for you. You forced a calm smile onto your face. Stepping out, you managed to not fall.

Inside, the scent of earth and oxygen rich perfumed air hit you in the face. You loved it here. The botanical collection dated back more than a hundred years, and the building reminded you of the giant Victorian glass house like those in Kew Gardens in London. Ran or shine, this garden was perfect.

Tonight, tall cocktail tables speckled the area allowing for people to set down their drinks. Wait staff wove between guests with trays of champagne or wine. Some trays were full of hors d’oeuvres. You wondered away from Pepper and Tony, more interested in the flowers than the business associates.

As you made it to the Desert displays, after walking through the orchids, you spotted Steve Rogers. He wore a perfectly tailored dark blue suit, his tie a bit loose. He held a full glass of champagne. You stopped, watching for a moment because the look of complete panic in his eyes made you want to laugh.

Four lovely, but heavily made up, young ladies crowded closely around him. Their clothes were very expensive, and if you were any judge, so were their hair extensions. They beamed up at the super soldier, practically draping themselves over him. He looked immensely uncomfortable.

Few people wandered this far from the center of the conservatory, where the party was most dense. You wondered if he’d come out here to get away from the crowd. Perhaps the quartet ambushed him. An idea brought a smile to your face and you turned back the way you’d come.

Finding what you needed, you turned around and marched straight towards Steve. At the last second he saw you coming and stepped back from the women as much as he could without stepping into the plant beds. Holding out the glass in your left hand, you slid yourself between one of them and tucked yourself into Steve’s side.

“Here you go, Babe. I told you I could find you a beer even at a function like this.” You smiled up at him, trading him the beer for the champagne.

Even though he’d only met you in passing a several times over the months, Steve easily fell into your ruse. “Thank you, Sweetheart.” He pulled you a little closer and kissed your temple. Taking a long draw off the glass, he sighed. “So much better. Mmm,” He licked the head of the beer from his lips. Your eyes following his tongue. “Y/N, this is Britney, Rachel, Sarah, and Ashley.”

“Girls.” You nodded with a smile. “Are you enjoying the party?”

“I didn’t see you come together.” Sarah smiled coldly.

“I came straight from work.” Steve answered immediately.

“So, I just rode with Tony and Pepper.” You finished.

“Oh,” She looked deflated. “We didn’t realize you were involved. It’s never been reported.”

“Benefit of working with a bunch of spies.” You smiled into your champagne.

Steve laughed. It was a warm genuine laugh. His hand, comfortably resting on your opposite hip, pulled you a little closer. He smelled wonderful, woody, spiced, and rich. You hand slipped under his jacket to rest on his lower back.

“Well,” Rachel gave a tight smile. “You make an adorable couple. I could really use a fresh drink.”

The others agreed and the four soon wondered off, leaving you and Steve standing alone among the cactus and aloe. He pulled you a little closer. You could see the pulse beat at his neck. His tongue slid over his lush lower lip. In the time you’d known him, you’d never been able to just admire him. Doing so this close practically took your breath away.

Steve’s breath tickled your ear. “I owe you.”

“Yes,” You giggled. “Yes, you do. The look on your face when I walked down here was priceless. You looked like cornered prey.”

“I didn’t want to be rude, but they were coming on pretty strong.” A light flush colored his neck. Even though the reason for your ruse had walked away, he still kept you close with his hand on the small of your back. “Thanks for the rescue.”

“No problem.” You smiled. A part of your mind marveled at how utterly comfortable his touch felt. “This is a great suit, by the way. You wash up pretty well.”

He beamed. “Got to wear something other than a uniform once in a while.” Steve’s eyebrow quirked up, he leaned very close to your ear. “I’ve never seen you in a dress before, completely took my breath away.”

You pulled back and looked him in the eye, somewhat surprised.

“You’re lovely anytime,” he grinned, expression softening. “But you look particularity stunning tonight.”

“Wow, thank you.”

Steve led you around the beds of plants, walking slow. “I’m sorry we’ve never really had the chance to talk much. Every time I’ve seen you, you’re in and out before I’ve had the chance to say anything.”

“The only time I ever get over to the compound is when Pep needs Tony to do something. And running him down is like chasing a toddler who’s eaten too much candy.” You giggled.

He laughed. “That’s pretty accurate. He thinks highly of you, though. Which is saying something. There’s not many people Tony compliments for their intelligence.”

You gave him a sly smile. “Sure. He’s just worried I’m going to reprogram his shower to go ice cold at random intervals, or that I’ll have all his suits taken in by a half inch.”

Steve’s laugh drew the attention of a few people milling around. He pushed his fist against his mouth, trying to hold it in. “I would pay money to see Tony freak out because suddenly nothing fit.”

“Oh, he would never say a word.” You chuckled. “He would just drink more of those awful concoctions instead of eating, and work out like mad, and have F.R.I.D.A.Y. do all sort of body scans.”

“You’ve thought about this too much.”

“Got to keep my mind occupied while I’m waiting on his preening before events. He takes twice as long as Pepper.” You tossed him a sideways grin.

As you walked slowly through the plants with the warm air carrying the complex earthy smells, the hand on your back held your complete attention. His palm was hot, you could feel it through the fabric of your dress. The urge to lean into him felt overwhelming.

“You know,” taking a sip of champagne, you steeled your nerves. “You can always call me sometime… if you want to talk.”

Steve stopped, looking around. He took you by the arm and led you behind a gorgeous display of purple and pink orchids. “That would be okay?” The innocent question in his eyes made your heart flutter. You nodded. He smiled. “Okay. I’d really like that. Although you know, I never know when I’ve got to go…”

You touched his chest, stopping his words. “Believe me, after spending the last year and a half working with Pepper, I complete understand how chaotic your life can be. It’s not a problem.”

His blue eyes studied you, intense yet curious. Moving a piece of your hair away from your face, his thumb barely brushed your cheek. Such a tiny gesture, such a delicate sensation, yet you needed to fight the urge to moan.

“I suppose you would.” A soft smile curved his lips. “It’s not exactly something you can just explain to some one. Would you like to go for a walk?”

“Yeah,” you tucked your hand into his arm and set your glass on a nearby table. “I would like that.”

Steve set down his own glass and covered your hand with his own. He led you out of the ornate iron and glass doors. Wondering slowing along the path, the difference between the warm air of the glass house and the cooling air of park made you shiver. He stopped, and removed his jacket. Before you could object, Steve’s suit jacket was settled over your shoulder. The scent of him becoming stronger.

You sighed. “Thank you.”

He stood directly in front of you, pulling the jacket closed. You watched a pinched line form between his brow. “I need to confess something.”

“Oh?”

“We, um, we may not have had much chance to talk,” the pink flush touched Steve’s neck again. “But, I do, um, know a fair amount about you.”

“Have you been checking up on my file?” You teased, faking shock.

He smiled, biting his lip. “At first, but I saw the reference to your past times, and that led to that website with all your sketches.”

“My Instagram?”

“Ah, yeah. You’re really good.” He tucked your hand into his arm again and turned you towards the roses and conifers. “I like your pencil work. You have a great eye.”

“A what does Steve Rogers know about art?” You glanced sideways at him.

A wide smile spread across his face as he looked up into the trees. He sighed.

“What?”

“It’s just that you asked ‘what does Steve Rogers know’ not ‘Captain America’.” He couldn’t wipe the smile away.

“It’s who you are.” You stated plainly, although the way he beamed was infectious.

“Yeah,” Steve stopped, taking your hands into his own. “But people tend to forget there’s a man beneath the uniform.”

You nodded, knowing it to be true. “I don’t need to be reminded of that.”

“Yeah, I know.” Steve sighed. “And it’s really nice.”

You giggled. “And you’ve avoided the question.”

“Oh,” He shrugged. “I draw a little, too.”

“Really,” Your fingers wound in his. “What other secret talents do you have? And don’t say bench pressing a BMW, because that’s not a secret.”

Steve laughed. Holding your hand, you began your walk through the garden again. “Um, I like to bake bread.”

“What?”

“Yeah, I used to help Bucky’s Ma back in the day. I still remember how. There’s just something about filling the house with that smell, you know?”

“Sounds wonderful.”

“What about you? Any other secret talents?”

“You cannot tell Tony about this one.” His brow popped up, but he nodded. “I know Shiatsu. I give a killer massage.”

“Really?” Steve’s grin turned devious.

“Any more secrets?” You leaned into a little closer.

“Oh, I’m full of secrets.” His voice dropped just a little. You involuntarily licked your lips. Damn.

“Yeah.”

“M-hm” Steve’s eyes drifted between you eyes and you mouth.

“Like what?”

“Like I’ve been dying to kiss you since you called me Babe.”

Your lips parted in a silent ‘oh’ just as he leaned close. Steve’s lips brushed yours, a gentle and soft touch. His hand slid along your waist. Pulling back enough to look into each other’s eyes, he smiled before pulling you closer. Kissing you more thoroughly, his tongue tentatively touched your lip and you opened eagerly for him.

His other hand slid to the back of your neck, as the keep deepened. You leaned into his strong body, feeling his muscles beneath the smooth shirt. A small moan escaped your throat as his teeth lightly tugged at your lower lip. Steve broke the kiss, only to rest his forehead against yours.

“Whoa.” You grinned, wanting wrap yourself around him, surprised at the intensity of your reaction.

“Yeah.” He breathed. “So, um, it may be a little old fashioned but can I ask you to be my girl?”

You kissed him again, pulling him close and molding your body against his. Smiling against his lips, you purred. “I can definitely do with a little more ‘old fashioned’ in my life.”
