Views of the Neighborhood – Greenbelt

~ John W. Howell

Today we are going to check out the Greenbelt and see the effects of the recent rainfall. Since we can walk, we’ll leave the bus at home. Here is a margarita in an insulated to-go container. All set? Let’s go.

Views of the Neighborhood

To start, we can see the flowers are in bloom.

Beautiful vinca.

A good sign. The creek is running.

I thought these puffballs looed nice.

Some yellow flowers.

A small view of the falls.

A view of the spillway.

The producer took over and climbed down the rocks to get a better shot.

The rest of the photos are taken by The Producer since the access points are a little too dangerous for a senior citizen.

Great shot of the falls from below.

The Producer’s camera is so much better than mine. That falling water is captured in a standstill view,

Another shot of the falls from the lower level.

On the way back, a lonely heron was doing a little fishing. He wouldn’t come out, so The Producer caught him with a water reflection making him visible.

We found this plant with strange clusters of purple berries.

Another plant with pumpkin-colored trumpets.

Well, that is the tour today. I hope you enjoyed it. Save your container for the next time. Have a great week

  6. I like that that spillway is left to nature. The wildlife must like it as much as the wildflowers. The Producer did do a wonderful job of showing the details to us. (watch out John or you’ll be out of job soon!!)
    I have my container here on the desk – washed and ready for next time!

  10. A delightful walkabout, John, and with refreshment included! I will journey with you and the producer anytime. Glad the environment is receiving the drink that it needed as well. Happy Sunday!

  15. Delightful tour, John — thank you for letting me join in (of course, ’tis a spot early for margaritas, ha!) I especially love the water photos — the creek and the falls — maybe more now because it’s been so very dry here.

  16. Good morning, John!
    I love the pictures of the falling waters, but I would love it even more to sit there watching and listening to the sounds. Which creek is that, btw?
    Have a wonderful Sunday,

  21. A lovely outing! Glad the creek was running. The Greenbelt is really a beautiful and peaceful place to enjoy and get away for a bit. Producer did a good job with the photos of the falls and protecting you from possible harm. Wise man!.
