Nothing is built in the USA anymore. Just the other day I bought a new TV and the box had "Built in Antenna"!! I have no idea where that is!!!
In the previous post I mentioned that after walking around the port and bridge construction, I drove to a nearby park in the city to see if I could find any birds of interest. The park was quite beautiful. Most all the flowering trees were in bloom and like snow laden branches for the most part. I'll just post photos for the scenery. The only bird worth watching for me was a well hidden white winged dove doing his courting ritual. The female dove was somewhere on the ground, probably, out of sight. Anyway, here are some photos of my walk along the park trails. The beginning photo, by the way, is the Blucher landmark home. This is the family from the 1800s that donated the land nearby the house for a bird sanctuary since the Mrs. was an avid birder. Today it's called Blucher Park, and the residence is now a bed and breakfast:
Hello,
ReplyDeleteIt is a pretty park, the blooms are beautiful. The Doves are really shy here, they take off as soon as they see me watching. Take care, have a happy weekend!
I was pretty well hidden in regards to the courting doves.
DeleteWhat a nice park. You always find the nicest things to photograph
ReplyDeleteIt's a small park right in the heart of downtown.
DeleteJust beautiful! Happy Spring, Anni! :-)
ReplyDeleteIt is a nice, quiet area, among the cityscape.
Deleteour world needs more green space and this one is perfect. a jewel in the middle of all the concrete jungles we have built.
ReplyDeleteTrue.
DeleteNow that is Spring in all its glory. What a lovely place to walk and possibly stay at the B&B
ReplyDeleteBeneath the bloomng trees, the wildflowers were pretty too; a rainbow of colors.
DeleteWhat a beautiful park and great shots Anni. It's so nice to see so much green after what your state went though this past winter.
ReplyDeleteJust about everything is coming back to life (around town). Here in our yard, not so much.
DeleteLoved all these sights Anni, thank you for sharing your walk. I'd love to know where Antenna is too, lol!
ReplyDeleteYou are the only one who read (or GOT) the joke!!
DeleteThat's a BUNCH OF BEAUTY!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt was very pretty!!
DeleteI have no idea where it is either, I wonder if it was an error in spelling? This is a stately and lovely old structure, from what I can see, just my kind of place to tour or spend as a bed and breakfast! Either way sharing it with folks is what's perfect. Such lovely gifts from nature that you've shared, it's sure beautiful there. Enjoy your week and stay safe!
ReplyDeleteNo typo...just a joke.
DeleteGreat photos of all the fresh new life bursting out for Spring.
ReplyDeleteI love taking these walks with you.
Its going to be a lovely day here today. Temps in the low 80's and no wind. My kind of day.
Sue
Oops, forgot to say I was wondering where Antenna is too...(:0)
DeleteSue
Some either didn't read the joke or don't get it.
DeleteSounds like a great day!!!
DeleteAntenna must be as suburb in China!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGrrrrrrrr......

DeleteWhat a beautiful park with so many beautiful trees and flowers in bloom!
ReplyDeleteIt is a nice, pretty area.
DeleteDear One.... You just made a comment on my blog. And I put up a reply to it, there. Do not usually reply, in my comments, so you would not see it.
ReplyDeleteSo... I copy and paste it, here... So you will see it.

HOOTIN' ANNI
You commented:
"I just LOVE your "keeping up appearences" image!! It's perfect -you're gorgeous!!"
That is NOT my photo!!!
That is the actor on "Keeping Up Appearances" old Brit tv series... Her name was "Hyacinth Bucket" but she wants it pronounced as "Bouquet." And it is a running joke, in the silly old series.
Not me!!!!

Okay...gotcha.
DeleteBeautiful park!
ReplyDeleteIt is.
DeleteWhat a refreshing little park, where it’s needed the most. 🙂👍👏
ReplyDeleteIt helps after a year we've all lived thru.
DeleteAbout the antenna, that’s what happens when you leave out the hyphen. 🙂
ReplyDeleteLol
DeleteI think my favorite is the one with all the white flowers. And that tree across the path!!
ReplyDeleteGood choices.
DeleteWhat a beautiful walk through the park.
ReplyDeleteIt was a refreshing sight.
DeleteHi Annie. I spotted a new bird today, and cannot identify it. My guess is a baby Blue Heron. Will you look at it? Here is my e-mail address, so you can send me something that I can reply to with the photo.
ReplyDeleteginnyhartzler@gmail.com
I will be happy to help if I can.
DeleteSure some pretty blooms.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
They are.
DeleteSo pretty! It's so green, and the flowers are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteFinally greening up around town.
DeleteBeautiful pictures. the lush green foliage is so beautiful .
ReplyDeleteIt is.
DeleteI love the flowers, and recognize them! We called the pink ones "buttercups" when I lived in New Orleans, but I'm not sure they are actually called that. I think they are also known as pink primroses. Do I see a winecup furled? What a lovely walk. We have many, many white-winged doves here, and mourning doves. I love their calls. The white-winged doves are very frisky right now.
ReplyDeleteHere, they are called evening primrose.
DeleteThe few weeks of flowering trees in spring is my absolute favourite time of year. It's here now in NEO, and I'm in heaven!
ReplyDeleteFor me too. Staying away from the always negative news, there is eye candy everywhere outdoors.
DeleteWell, the white wing dove just didnt want to show his wonderful self I guess. Beautiful park. Absolutely love the pic of the chuck wills widow. I used to hear one here in the evenings, but its been awhile now. Hard to hear the little "chuck". Happy day, Ms. Annie.
ReplyDeleteI've only heard them via the 'net
DeleteI just read your reply to Ann...that is fantastic that this is right downtown! For some reason the 4th photo is so interesting. Maybe because it is so different to the beautiful blooms shots.
