Yorba Linda Regional Park

We visited California in April this year and will be posting images from there.

Yorba Regional Park in Anaheim is a forested paradise with fishing lakes. Feels like Yorba Linda, but actually in Anaheim. This thin, linear park is just over a mile long but offers casual biking opportunities, a riverside equestrian trail, beautiful water features, and amenities galore.

Talmadge Memorial Bridge

The Talmadge Memorial Bridge spans the Savannah River between downtown Savannah, Georgia, and Hutchinson Island. The original cantilever bridge was built in 1953; a replacement bridge, named the Talmadge Memorial Bridge, was completed in 1991.

Reflection of the bridge on a window of the riverfront building creates an interesting image.

The Owl of Minerva – by Jamie Green

An interesting wooden sculpture, The Owl of Minerva, by Jamie Green, at the Annual Sculpture Celebration in Lenoir, North Carolina. There is a striking background of a red bridge, a reflection, and a waterfall at the Broyhill Walking Park.

Lesser Flamingo Reaching for Water

The lesser flamingo is a tall, large-bodied bird with a long neck and small head. Most flamingos, including this species, have pale pink plumage, legs, and bills. This species has a highly specialized diet consisting almost entirely of microscopic blue-green algae and benthic diatoms found only in alkaline lakes, salt pans, saline lagoons, and estuaries. Here is one reaching for water at Sylvan Heights Bird Park and creating reflections in the water.
