Some shots around the pond in Buttoonwood Park

Some shots around the pond in Buttoonwood Park

Good Morning and have a great day

Today I am going to share a few shots taken in Buttonwood park, from last year and maybe even further back than that

Buttonwood Park is called by many the “crown jewel” of New Bedford’s parks. and I do agree it is such a charming park, I and for the matter many others enjoy taking walks around or through the park, but my favorite spot in the park is walking around the pond, I am always drawn to and feel most clam when I am near water.

It’s the largest and most visited public park in the city. It’s also a historical treasure, designed by the famed architectural firm of Frederick Law Olmsted — the father of American landscape architecture

He designed many well know parks perhaps the most well known, Central Park in New York City alongside Calvert Vaux, but he also designed many other prominent parks including Prospect Park in Brooklyn, New York, Riverside Park in Manhattan, the park system in Buffalo, New York, and the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina

THis was early one morning I think back in August 2023, looking across the pond with some subtle sunrise colors

And looking across to what locals callt he wrming house when it used to be just that a spot people could go into to warm up after ice skating on the pond,

now it is used as a facility by the Council on aging here in New Bedford where the host various events for the seniors

The way the clouds are reflecting in the lake, those almost look like watercolor paintings versus photographs! Very nice!

Great views of this pond, beautiful colors.
Frederick Law Olmsted is everywhere in North America, he designed also the Mont Royal Park in Montreal.

How are you, Mr. @tattoodjay?

I'm not surprised they called this place the jewel in the crown, given that it's truly beautiful.

What a beautiful feeling it must be to walk around the pond.

Beautiful shots as always.

Prelepi prizori parka... Jedna od mojih omiljenih kombinacija, plavo zelena simfonija u prirodi. Ono što daje savršenstvo su oblaci, kao višnja na vrhu šlaga na torti. 😊

Sve najbolje, @tattoodjay.
