Let's take a walk in Henderson Park.

At the time I took these pictures, it was full summer in Henderson. 
 This is the middle bridge across the Opanuku Stream.


 Rather than enter the open spaces in the park, let's turn left and walk along the trail for a ways...
(I like this picture of the three trees. I've tried to think of what painting it reminds me of. The first one that came to mind is one of birches, and I looked at a bunch of paintings of birches, hoping to see the one that I remembered, but couldn't find it. 
Then, I wondered if it reminded me of The Three Graces by Rubens. Despite the obvious difference in subjects. that might actually be the connection my mind made. Clearly, I'd have to label my picture a bit differently than Ruben's. My photo is named
The Tree Graces.)





Here is one of the Frisbee Golf goals.




At the end of the trail, here's the bridge leading over to the Corbin Estate. Let's get out into the sun. 






I like this spot. I showed it to you once before when I did a post on benches. This is how I labled this photo then:
This photo could be entitled: "The Evolution of the Bench", don't you think?


I think it's time to do some sitting in the park. Take a couple of minutes...Here's someone else telling us about sitting in a park.

Let's walk some more...





Enough sun for now. Let's walk down to the stream, okay?


This spot is nice. It's refreshingly cool after spending time in the sun, and the sound of water makes it seem cooler yet.  
What's that you say?  You can't hear the water?  
Well, of course not. I'm sorry. I forgot. Let me fix that...

There you go. Click on this:

This stream sure looks exotic doesn't it? You'd think we were deep in some rain forest instead of a suburban park.  Hope you enjoyed it.  Till next time....

  1. Love this park and the Opanuku! I always enjoy going on these walks in person, in memory and now virtually with you! I have a few videos too including one with a Tui & cicadas.
