We've had such a lovely week weather-wise, unusual for March in the UK.. it's Mothering Sunday this weekend, and the clocks got forward, so I hope the sunshine keep up.

I took a walk around our local lakes this afternoon with my friend, her D-I-L and grandson, and although no-one was out sailing yet, it was still nice to walk around and enjoy the sun and have a coffee at the outdoor cafe.. ...

Beautiful photos holly, I see there are a pair of swans among those ducks. We have a pair in a lake near us and they have been there for years. We had some nice weather in New Jersey as well but today it is raining.
 

Thanks Ruth.:D..there's actually loads of swans, ducks , and geese on the lakes... . WE haven't had rain for quite a while thank goodness.!!
 
Lovely place to walk around, Holly. Nice place to have a coffee and watch the birds on the lakes. Those geese look friendly. Do the powers-that-be, ask they not be fed?
 
Thank you Falcon... :D

Yes Pinky they only ask that people feed them only the bird food that can be bought at the kiosk , and only feed them on the ground and not in the water, but of course many people totally ignore the rules and therefore water gets polluted with detritus ..
 
Thank you Tommy & Seeker...:D

I have loads more , but I thought those few would give you the idea of the place... It's a nice size park @ around 130 acres

In the summer there's a lot of water sports & boating, as well as fishing, and a swimming pool, and also with the addition of with a daytime cafe and an evening restaurant .. but of course it's also home to many species of birds and fish as well as squirrels and more..
 
Lovely bird-life .. and I like the different tree species. I think I see a weeping willow, but I
don't know the tall, slender trees in #14 ..
 
Beautiful area Holly, just walking there has to make your knee feel better, glad you're on the mend and thanks for sharing those lovely photos....hugs.
 
Thanks SB & Pinky... :love_heart:...Pinky I think the trees are Silver Birch but I could be wrong. They are planted only in the really huge car park...

yes you can see a weeping willow there's quite a few all around both Lakes... and lots of other types.. my husband is the one who knows their names, I'm not so good at naming them. I know an Oak from a Willow or a Holly tree but not really very good with many more :D
 
We don't have that many poplars around the city .. mostly maple, oak, evergreens. I like the way the poplars look.
 
Yes the talk slender trees are poplars trees. They are a soft hardwood tree that grows fast but falls once they reach a certain age. It’s a great carving wood .

Lovely photos Holly
 
Those trees have been there for as long as I can remember, they're regularly trimmed but as you say Keesha they grew fast and stopped

Thanks for enjoying the photos :D
