One shot is similar in scenery to one of our parks nearby. But I guess it is rather bleak in winter as the picture suggests. <br />Maybe it’s now time for some June Shakespeare by the sea!! <br />Best wishes <br />Lindsay Byrneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11030132436987752741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-49116117359509069872014-05-12T17:58:46.809-07:002014-05-12T17:58:46.809-07:00The only flowers that grow at Point Pleasant are w...The only flowers that grow at Point Pleasant are wild ones, Rob. What we do have in the centre of town is a Victorian park called The Public Gardens. One of these fine days I'll carry my camera over there and take pictures of flowers for you.<br /><br />Best wishessusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-59829408616336321812014-05-12T15:36:59.176-07:002014-05-12T15:36:59.176-07:00What a delightful place.
