Park Delights #1

In our town we have a little park right on our main shopping street. It is dedicated to George Jones, a well known and highly respected resident who founded our local newspaper. He died in 1920 and the stone gate to the park is a memorial to him. Each year the park has different plantings alongside the perennials. This year it is begonias, geraniums and dahlias. I went along today to capture a few with my Panasonic TZ60. It was a dull day, good for the vibrant colours, but the breeze was a nuisance, the flowers just would not stay still! The dahlias were dancing :)
For Friday

What a delightful bloom, and the color is stunning. If she was dancing you stopped her in her tracks. tigs=^..^=

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?

The George Jones I knew would have sung a beautiful country song about these flowers LE. It looks like a hand in the center with fingers reaching out. Beautiful.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

I like the way the petals curl to almost form tubes of fuschia.

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
