The full-color, 12-month calendar based on the
popular Brooklyn blog Prospect: A Year in the
Park is shipping now, just in time for anyone on your gift
list who loves Brooklyn, nature, or the park where they come
together. Writer/photographer Brenda Becker resolved to visit the park
every day this past year, as an urban adventure (and, not least, as a drug-free
antidepressant!), and to chronicle her discoveries. The calendar shares a
year’s worth of gorgeous seasonal images of the park’s lake, meadows, woods, art
works and carousel. Becker designed the calendar herself and had it printed here
in Brooklyn; it’s $15 plus shipping at www.ayearinthepark.com.

And of course she’s still
trying to get to the park every day, and posting about it on her blog, www.ayearinthepark.typepad.com,
a site the New York Times called "witty and engaging" in a profile last July.
"It was fun getting some Old Media attention for 15 minutes," comments Becker,
"but the real gift was connecting to so many other people, from cyclists to dog
lovers, who are also passionate about Prospect Park. The calendar is a way to
share that passion."
