Neat seeing the older houses with the newer condo type rising up around them. I love the white wagtail and the pretty butterfly and the flowers are gorgeous. I for one would like to more farmland land and green areas preserved. Wonderful photo from your walk.

Most are farther in the North or South though.<br />The parks we have here are trees, some grass and some even do have flowers.<br />But protected plants? Sadly, not so much (unless they are inside the preserve, than they stay a chance of thriving)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06735273216574108695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-335562107975397904.post-19833656819507724722012-01-22T14:25:35.898+01:002012-01-22T14:25:35.898+01:00Thanks :)!Thanks :)!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06735273216574108695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-335562107975397904.post-56983433839195285222012-01-22T14:24:59.930+01:002012-01-22T14:24:59.930+01:00I would have loved to see this place 20years agoI would have loved to see this place 20years agoAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06735273216574108695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-335562107975397904.post-44451159909127532562012-01-22T14:24:36.729+01:002012-01-22T14:24:36.729+01:00Thanks, AndrewThanks, AndrewAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06735273216574108695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-335562107975397904.post-44378890913836233972012-01-22T14:24:14.402+01:002012-01-22T14:24:14.402+01:00Sadly that seems to be the case and humans are not...Sadly that seems to be the case and humans are not waking up in time :(Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06735273216574108695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-335562107975397904.post-19499721460314764462012-01-22T14:23:33.152+01:002012-01-22T14:23:33.152+01:00Glad you like them :-)Glad you like them :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06735273216574108695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-335562107975397904.post-74751693502558121682012-01-22T14:23:00.922+01:002012-01-22T14:23:00.922+01:00Yup, I hope so tooYup, I hope so tooAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06735273216574108695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-335562107975397904.post-27506669329399628552012-01-21T15:59:52.893+01:002012-01-21T15:59:52.893+01:00love the marigolds behind the drainpipelove the marigolds behind the drainpipedkmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04322142359551595275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-335562107975397904.post-81094723947457249202012-01-21T15:59:12.383+01:002012-01-21T15:59:12.383+01:00ha ha— "check out if there are some new birds...ha ha— "check out if there are some new birds around."<br /><br />So happy to have found you again!
