enjoying the colorful spring trees in Buttonwood Park

This post if for Wednesday walk challenge
Any questions about the challenge read the guide at the Bottom of the post ;)

Of recent, I haven't had many days I could get out for early morning walks, its either been to cool for me or like today the temp is nice enough but it is raining, but I have got out for a few day times walks, and a few times to Buttonwood Park, which is pretty close to where I live.

Its an awesome park called by many the Crown Jewel of the city, and I feel the same way any time of year it is beautiful but especially in spring when the lovely warm colors come out

Now I do not profess to be an expert on tree types infact my knowledge of them is terrible, but i think I know what these are based on a Friend i have met and walked around the park with a couple of times here, who runs a group called the friends of buttonwood park, and that group does a lot to help look after the park.

This first one i think is a Kwanzan Cherry possibly part of Sixty trees which were given in 1931 to the city by the Garden Club of Buzzards Bay, or it could be one of the new ones the Group Friends of Buttonwood Park have planted more recently

Wednesday Walk is a challenge started by me, the idea is to get out for a short walk and get some shots of what you can see within a short distance of your home office or wherever you start. And this is my entry for this week, but first, let me explain the challenge.

This is my post for the Wednesday Walk challenge hosted by myself, let me first explain the guidelines

Try and get out once a week for a short walk, can be from your office, home or anywhere really and walk for a few blocks or a few minutes looking for things to get shots of.

Your walk does not have to be on a Wednesday I just ask if possible to share your walk photos on a Wednesday.

Try and get a few shots not just one

Add a bit of a write up about where you walked

Just one Wednesday Walk tagged post a week

You can look for anything in general or decide on one subject you want to get shots off.

Make a point of looking around and up and see what you can find to get shots of that otherwise you may miss

Do a post with the shots you get on a Wednesday and tag it with #wednesdaywalk, also if you happen to join, please leave a link to your post in a comment on this post and I will try and visit them all, especially if its not one of the first 5 tags or I may miss seeing it .

Following me and re-Hiving the post so more see it would be appreciated but isn't a rule just a suggestion.

I am not strict on these rules and hence why they are called guidelines and not rules

I will try and visit, and upvote all who take part in the Wednesday Walk.

I hope a few of you may find this an interesting challenge and decide to join in.


unless stated otherwise all photos used in my posts are taken and owned by myself, if you wish to use any of my images please contact me.

It’s a beautiful park, and it’s true what they say – the trees are the jewel in the crown, especially those with pink blossoms; they make for some lovely photos!! Thanks for this walk!😃

Oh wow, that cherry tree is definitely stunning! It's been quite chilly here lately. Today it is just dreary and nasty. This past weekend my wife and I went out for a walk and it was so cold it hurt our lungs. We powered through though. Before long I will be complaining about the heat!

What lovely blossoms. I thought it was a red bud tree which are one of my favorites. Cherry blossoms are incredible too. Flowers on spring trees are amazing. Another great one is dogwood. Love those blooms! Thanks for sharing.
