I kept walking, and found what remained of earlier improvement projects on this side of the hill. Path restructuring, apparently ongoing but deserted, and this abandoned installation.
There was something terribly bleak about it all. #Athens #Parks #PublicWorks #UrbanParks #UrbanPhotography

Visited a metro Denver park a few days ago to photography migrating birds. My first time seeing the white-faced Ibis and the American Avocet.

Surprisingly good day yesterday at the little neighborhood park. Urban green spaces are so important!

Seeing as I want to sleep in but brain is "YOU HAVE TO BE SOMEWHERE AT 1PM", we have settled on lying in bed and sharing this cool photo of a mossy rootball of one of the trees in my park that I took yesterday afternoon. #mosstdon #UrbanParks #Tree #Roots

Cool stuff from around my apartment building.
Sunrise on the walk to the subway station.
The fattest squirrel ever (I call him Anton LeChonk).
Lichen on a fallen branch after a storm.
A really out of place but super cool Group of Seven white pine that makes me pine for the north now and then.

Unexpected snow day! #Carrot said it was raining. Wrong! The dogs love snow, but the chickens refuse to walk in it, so I feed them on the ramp to their coop. π
Urban Parks: Stow Lake, San Francisco
About an eight minute walk from car choked Fulton Street and you are in a whole new world.
Within a five minute WALK from the lake is the California Academy of Sciences museum and a now permanently automobile free JFK Promenade. π₯https://www.sfrecpark.org/1538/JFK-Promenade

This spot used to be a four lane highway that cut through the heart of our downtown. Since 2017 it's been a lovely urban park with over 100 trees, sculptures, (and soon) a fountain. β¦and the traffic apocalypse that carbrains warned about, never came.
The picture was taken last winter at sunset in Santa Rosa California.

#UrbanBushland and #UrbanParks are very important for trying to recover some biodiversity out of the catastrophic displacement and extirpation wrought by urbanisation. But it is also good for the souls. #wellness

My mastodon bio says: "Dragonflies & damselflies are my huckleberry.β©"
Well okay then! How about a dragonfly perched on a barbed wire fence? One of my favorite urban parks that's been preserved from the past ranching days of Reno, Nevada.

@RichardLWhite I've put this book on my reading list. I've lived in Camrose for 22 years. It's an O.K. town generally and I'm happy here; the good urban park system has a lot to do with that. In recent years I've been taking a more deliberate interest in documenting Camrose parks and will probably put up a website dedicated to them in the near future. #parks #Canada #Camrose #Alberta #UrbanParks

So many chum and coho salmon spawning in Seattleβs Carkeek Park right now!
Itβs always a relief to see them home safe from their long journey, but feels especially so after the stretches of record warmth and dryness we saw here this fall. Itβs impossible to witness their grit and sacrifice and not want to fight just as hard for their future.

Urban Green and Blue Spaces (UGBS) are great for mental and physical wellbeing offering a plethora of opportunities to relax, unwind and exercise. But, do UGBS provide accessibility for everyone?
How do you use UGBS? Myself, a mix of hiking, bird watching and dog walking, to immerse myself in nature.
(I hope the photo sphere works in Mastodon)
