Fall colors in Brooklawn Park
The dental surgery went well yesterday, was in a fair bit of pain afterwards and through the dya yesterday, still some pain this morning but not to bad
Those that have followed me for a while will know I mostly get out for early morning walks around sunrise, but with the fall colors peaking recently I have switche dup and got out for a few during the day walks visiting spots around the area catching the fall colors, and in this post I will share a few shots from a visit to Brooklawn park here in New Bedord
a little bit about the park
Brooklawn Park was once part of a country estate built by Daniel Ricketson. The park welcomed some famous visitors in the 1800s, including writers Henry David Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson
Responding to the needs of a rapidly growing population due to the success of the textile industry, this land became a city park at the end of the 19th century. This 85 acre park is a multi-use complex which features 6-baseball and 2-softball fields, 2-basketball and 4-tennis courts, a skate park, playground, splash-pad, nature & cross country running trails
its a lovely park I used to visit quite often when my wife used to go toour Daughter in Laws hair salon to get her hair doone, while she was there i would go for walks and this park was a hort drive from there. but now the Daughter in Law no longer does hair, I do not visit it so often, but swung by to check out the colors
This tree always grabs my attention at this time of year, its visible from the road as one drive sby and sure is eye catching

whenever I visit there I take a stroll around this little pond, often there are ducks and geese on the pond

I did notice this bridge, which did not use to be there, looks they have extended the pond and added the bridge, great to see they are updating the park and looking after it

And another view of this tree, I think I missed it at peak but still beautiful, and most likely with the recent heavy winds we have had it may be almost bare by now
