some more of the fall colors in Buttonwood Park
Today, again I will share a few shots from a visit to Buttonwood Park here in New Bedford called by many and I think very aptly the Jewel of the city
I had not visited there for a while until recently, opting mostly for early morning sunrise walks and headign to other spots, but witht he colors of fall being out at the time I felt it was a good time for a few day time walks to enjoy seeing the Autumn colors
I visited Buttonwood a few times and these shots are from a selection of walks
Some trees initially just had a touch of fall colors

Located on 97 acres in New Bedford’s West End, Buttonwood Park is the largest and most visited public park in the city. The park is an oasis of nature right here in New Bedford, with gardens, a pond, an arboretum, walking paths, a playground, a zoo, and several ball fields and basketball courts.
Buttonwood Park is not just a treasure for its recreational opportunities — it’s also a historical treasure. In 1895, Charles Eliot of the famed architectural firm Olmsted, Olmsted & Eliot developed the original master plan for the park. In 1988, a new Olmsted-inspired master plan was adopted, serving as a blueprint for The Friends of Buttonwood Park to improve the park.
In 2000, Buttonwood Park and parts of the surrounding neighborhood were listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Today, Buttonwood Park offers the community a place to escape from the stresses of city life and enjoy nature
