Daily Dose of Imagery

So I'm looking outside the window in my 19th storey apartment and I see snow falling. And it's April. April 4. This is not snow-time weather. So today's DDOI [Daily Dose of Imagery] is snow-related.
This photo is of Allen Gardens. I walk through this everyday on my walk to school. It's a pretty cool place, a nice urban green space. I've seen my fair share of sketchy things in this park.
Example: One day I saw a man laying on the sidewalk with blood all around him. I just kept walking, obviously other people were attending to him...
Another example: One day I saw a homeless man hurl puke everywhere. I'm pretty sure I was sick for a while after that. Not a great site to see.
And every day, there is the same homeless man in the park. Somehow he has these nice blazers and coats and clothes but yet he's in there whenever I go through [And I pass through there at least four times a day]. Like what does he do in there?
Other than the homeless people, crackheads, and rapists that frequent Allen Gardens, it's a pretty swell place.
Quite a few movies have been filmed here so it can't be all that bad.
In this park, there's a nice greenhouse that is open to the public. I've never been but that's due to my hatred of greenhouses [Thank you Schouwenaar Greenhouses and Bakker's Nurseries for creating that hatred within me].
Below is a photo of the greenhouse.

That really sucks about the snow. There is no snow here in Iowa. But it's kinda cold, but sunny, so that's alright. I don't blame you for feeling sick about the homeless puke, that's pretty nastty. And I think that you should have help the guy with the blood. You could have ran out there and been like "Everyone back away! I'm a doctor!" And then pretended like you were a doctor.

I don't know why you have a hatred for greenhouses. Bakker's shouldn't have done that to you. You were barely in the greenhouse, albeit you were in the shadehouse sometimes. I'm pretty sure the times when we were in the greenhouse were when we had sweet jobs like pulling the little plants out of pots. I think that you should go into that greenhouse and take some pictures inside of it. You have to get used to the heat anyway.
