It has been a while since I last shared my Brightwood Park adventures. While I still have hundreds of photos to process, I would like to present to you a few interesting developments which caught my eye.
First, it is confirmed that a great horned owl moved into the famous old tree house near Prospect Street. When I examined the image I took, I am unsure whether this fellow was making a funny face to me, or was born with cross eyes. Second, sandpipers appeared last Saturday and almost visited the park everyday at the small pond. I think I saw a male and a female today. As far as the plants are concerned, a large flora of bluebell flowers (with blue-purple, pink, and white colors) came on stage. Nearby there were a few jack-in-the pulpit plants. The flowers of the latter almost changed everyday and developed beautiful colors and patterns. The fungi are not lagging behind. Near where the bluebells are, a group of mushrooms of schizophyllaceae grew in adorable formations on a fallen tree branch. Some looked like Chinese fans and others appeared like human feet with multiple toes. A few tree fungi (polyporaceae?) grew on a large log. One of them had a shape like a heart, which reminded me of a patch of moss that I saw and shared a picture of two years ago (included in this album). When you fall in love with Brightwood Park, you can really experience a heart-to-heart relationship with the plants, the birds, and the animals here. Comments are closed.
