Icy Pond in Brooklawn Park
The other day while my wife had an appointment I was running around doing a few things and when I had them all done I had some time to fill it before picking her up so took a quick visit to Brooklawn Park.
I have done a a couple of posts of visits to this park including this post of this same area with fall colors
It sure was different the other day not much colors and lots of ice on the pond

I am guessing this branch or tree got knocked over into the pond in one of the recent storms

Brooklawn park is a 85 Acre multi-use complex with baseball and softball fields, basketball and tennis courts, a skate park, playground, splash-pad, and nature trails.
A prominent New Bedford Quaker, Daniel Ricketson built a country estate in what is now Brooklawn Park, in an effort to remove himself from the bustle of the city’s center,. Literary greats, such as Henry David Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson, often visited Ricketson at his estate.
This land became a city park at the end of the 19th century.
I loved the subtle reflection on the ice covered pond

I don't know if this little hoses on the island in the pond had any historical significance I just think its pretty cool, in the background you can see a kids playground and a couple of benches if unlike me who likes to keep moving you want to just sit and relax in the park, but those probably get more use in the summer months

And this is away from the pond, but this tree looks so bare especially compared to its glorious warm colors in fall
