Just a Walk in the Park


One of the nice things that we do a number of mornings in the week is to go over to a park just across the street around 6:15 to go walking.  This park used to be a zoo and I can’t find out why it was closed – perhaps it was too small.  Anyway, there are a lot of walking trails and wonderful trees growing. There are guards here, so it's perfectly safe for me when I have come walking alone in the morning.
  
These lovely little bushes are all over - so pretty.


They are adding new curbing - this is some of the debris that they cleaning up.


 Remember the old house plant the philodendron.  Well, there is a giant 
philodendron plant growing up this tree.

A fountain that they are updating.

Look at the size of these leaves - magnolia - the
national tree.


A funky table and chairs.

We don't know what animals were here, but can you see the beautiful tree in the background?

It's called a flamboyant tree = perfect name, huh?

Here is a closeup of the blossoms.

When they fall, they also are pretty on the ground.

 A very unusual tree.

Can you see that there are sort of roots hanging down from the branches?

It is called the Caucho tree and is from India.
