The shadow knows!
The volunteers work like mad to keep all of these plants in order.
Looking for trouble.
Not sure what this is, but it looks lovely covered in dew.
Lily of the Valley, I think.
Bearded iris.
What’s shakin’ in the Secret Garden?

Judging by these footprints…
I’d say there are geese about.
Bingo!
You may call me Daniela Boone!
That tongue though…
It must be attached at the tail.
Naked ladies!
Right out in the open! What is this world coming to?
August starts at the park…
These are Maximilian sunflowers and they are wonderful!
There’s a whole lotta love going on here. I wonder if any of them ever got married?
Does this tree make me look fat?
All romping and cavorting must stop for the sake of a fine stick.
Central Park’s lake, looking good for August. It’s a man-made lake, but the water level is natural. I’ve seen it dried-up some summers.
Taking a wee “hike” over to where we thought we saw an osprey perched in a tree.
Sure enough!
A tired Jo is a good Jo.
Her first visit to the Big Park…
…was a big success!
For her. For us, it mostly consisted of us trying to keep her from pulling our arms out of their sockets (she’s a shrimp, but she’s STRONG like ox!), and yelling at her to stop barking.
But she loved it!
Face-off…
There’s a whole lake to swim in…
…and this happens. After a lot of angry honking back and forth, the family on the left relented and did a U turn.
A brief stroll at the lake…
At Central Park West. Not my preferred side of the park, but it has its delights.
Naptime for somebody…
No filters used.
There were kids fishing (just out of frame). Very wholesome.
Spring has indeed sprung.
At the Secret Garden…
Someone call the police! There are naked ladies everywhere!
Resting in the shade and quiet.
Somebody loves somebody.
This is their time!
Seasonal…
We don’t have a ton of Christmassy nature around here, but by gum, we’ve got trees with red berries on them!
