My husband informed me of this great little website called "One Minute Park" where you get to see one minute of a park from various places in the world (and you can contribute your own)
Perfect for a minute of peace.

This past week's storms may have not brought the predicted dramatic lightning show, but they did drop enough rain to keep the river running high and prompt the trees to push out some buds. So I'm out grabbing some sunny nature break time before the next deluge.

Discovered that there were turtles in the lake at my neighbourhood park!
There were also fish the length of my arm swimming nearby. For some reason I thought that was wild. I mean a lake has to have wildlife after all lol
I've had quite a week, so I am enjoying the morning in my lovely neighbourhood park. Over the years, this neglected green spot in my town had endured developers trying to destroy it for luxury condos, decay during the lockdowns to now being a community hub at last for the townspeople. This is a private park not council owned, and I guess the co realised that instead of earning the ire of the people, they'd build the place into a community centre where they can not only earn good CSR points and goodwill, but also earned some cash.
Lots of cafes here, and an event space that can be rented.

Ping Tom Memorial Park
So it looks like I'm celebrating spring equinox with a run through a quick-car-lube joint followed by a caffeine break at my favorite accessible riverside hang. The service folk were refreshingly helpful and free from snooty vibes re my admittedly disheveled old van, I got out of there for cheaper than I feared, and now I'm being treated to the occasional honks of overhead geese trading signals with a passing freight train. This area has several at-grade crossings through high density neighborhoods, which can make for some interesting views and occasional traffic drama. There's also repair work happening to the nearest automobile bridge over that busy rail line; that overpass gets a significant volume of semi trucks and other business traffic, and has been looking more beat-up than I care to think, so I'm glad it's getting redone before it joins the bridge failure stats.
