Two Surrey Parks July 22, 2018

Our Sunday morning was breezy and cool but the heat quickly climbed and settled into the current - what I'd call - heat wave. I'll never admit it, but, we sure could use some rain.

We crossed the Pattullo bridge and explored Sunny, sweltering Surrey.

Surrey is not lacking in urban parks from first impression. Before the heat had us wilting, we managed to make brief visits to two of the city's delightful parks.

We found the 'other side' of Green Timbers Park, the side where the lake 'isn't'. And the other was Hawthorn Park. 

The kitchen window corn has 'tasseled'. The ears are tiny but they're there.

Lines and angles.

Iron and steel cross roads.

Pan of three seamed photos.

Parallel universes.

Hollyhock?

Circa 1960 feel.

Thistle.

Manicured urban park.

Back lit.

Possible Arbutus sighting.
(normally only found on Vancouver Island, not in the lower mainland.)

Nice place for 'special occasion' photos?

Mop top.

Could this be tree versions of tattoos?

Great moss cover.

Giants.

A refreshing shaded trail.

Trinity.

Straighten up, we're getting our picture taken.

Faerie Castle.

Mossy limbs.

Leaf speckled path.

Dreamy green canopy.

Looking forward to our next discovery . . .
