Trip to a beautiful Park (1)

The grounds are very well kept and so colourful too. I really like the little creek/river and the bridge over...the waterfall looks so right in its position. I can imagine you spending 3 hours there; what a nice outing for you both.

Lovely in the sun....I bet you both enjoyed that outing!

Anchorman - do you find visiting such a wonderful place inspirational for your work as a landscaper?

Kfunster. I certainly do! I have a 20 metre sloping lawn leading down to my own garden pond and I'm seriouisly considering building a stream to it. Unfortunately it won't have natural running water but a pump will produce something quite similar.

I have designed and built a pond with a 20 foot stream leading to it in the past but unfortunately I have no photos of it. I've learned alot more about plants since then and my aim would be to try to make it look as natural as possible. Whoever designed the planting by the stream in the park was in my opinion inspied. It was simply enchanting and only one or two of my photos come anywhere near to doing it justice.

When you lived near the park in your youth, I bet not even for one minute you though you would visit it and look at it through the eyes of a landscaper - its funny how our lives take a certain paths.

A lovely blog and Photo's ,and glad you and your mum had a lovely day out.
We have never been either,and live so near,,,it's always the way,that you don't always see what is on your doorstep.,although we have passed it so many times,and didn't realise it is so nice.....time to for a visit,I think..thanks for sharing..
