Hubby and I decided to ride to Decatur to stroll through the beautiful parks of Decatur. We have not been on many of our daily travels because of the CROVIRUS.
At Delano Park, we saw Pink Roses, pink, blue, and white hydrangeas, shrubs, hostas, and orange daylilies.
We saw several Beale’s Barbery evergreen shrub that is native to mainland China, they were full of grape berries.
Sitting on a limb of the Beale Barbery Shrub was a Mocking Bird.
I wonder if he eats Beale Barbery berries?
We saw several squirrels scurrying about in the park.
At River Wild Delano Park Garden we saw several blooming magnolia trees.
We also saw dotted along the path several informative plaques about the animals, trees, & plants.
Some of the plaques we saw were Prothonotary Warbler, Eastern Hellbender, Biodiversity, limestone, turtles, fish, frogs, Eastern Red Cedar, Rabbits, great blue heron, etc.
We also saw odd-shaped boulders.
We saw a huge carving of turtles you could sit up, in turtle Cove Story Circle.
We saw a rabbit, nearly my height, a frog on top of a rock, a beaver, and a dragonfly sitting atop a pole.
We saw flowers and shrubs as strolled along the concrete sidewalk.
Pink rose Delano Park
Hydrangea in Frazier Park
In the Japanese Gardens at Frazier Park, we saw a Red Bridge, and beneath it a bubbling brook.
We saw Blue and white Hydrangeas, and orange Daylilies. Frazier Park is located near the old downtown area and is not as big as Delano Park but just as pretty.
Hubby and I stopped at Jack’s in Decatur for dinner I ordered a fried chicken, bacon cheese sandwich, fries, and a drink. (It was more than I could eat)
Hubby ordered a hamburger on Texas toast and a strawberry milkshake.
(We were the only ones dining inside at Jack’s)
We both took a nap when we arrived home.
Tomorrow will be the last day of physical therapy for my left knee.
