  This morning I started with volunteer work at Gowanus Canal Conservancy. We did planting wild flower at 9th street. It was quite a lot work but very fun. It feels great to do this which will benefit people in the nearby community. Though it was hard work, I think it is meaningful.
  Then we headed for Floyd Bennett Field and Jamaica Bay. We rent bike there and got close to the seaside. In this fine weather, it is very nice to ride a bike and be away from crowds and noise.
  I took several videos along the way and choose to upload two of them that I think are interesting.
  The first one is taken on the bus when we went though the bridge. It shows the change of bridge into road, the structure of bridge into streetlights. 
The second video is taken on our way back to take bus in the end of day. When we passed by the sidewalk, two sides of it show the difference, one side is road and the other is filled with dandelion that shows obviously urban element versus rural element.
