I was quite surprised when I took a short walk up to Tipperary Park, next to the New Westminster City Hall. I thought for sure I'd see more families and visitors enjoying the green space. That used to be my favourite sanctuary but over the last half dozen years, I have started to frequent another park near the Fraser River more often. Sadly, I've been neglecting my old favourite.
Let's see, I started writing this blog in September of 2003 and my first entry mentioning this park was on January 24, 2004. Oh, and this entry makes the fourtith entry on the subject.
Walking up Fourth Street is quite a hike but it is healthy to sweat a little.
Today, I passed the community garden plots on the land near the City Hall. How lovely some of the vegetables were! When ducking under the trees, I was surprised more folks weren't enjoying the nice sunshine. I thought as a day off, it would be more crowded. The effect was certainly all right as the place seemed to be all mine!
I do like the pictures I can take with my new phone. Actually, what I like might be the camera app's DRO setting. Dynamic Range Optimization seems to bring more life to foliage and works well for the light conditions in wooded areas. When I don't want to lug my weighty lens on the Nikon, it's nice knowing I have something useful in my pocket.
