About 30 yards from my front door a path leads out from the street to follow the Burn of Rubislaw 1 1/2 miles to Hazlehead Park.
The path is well developed and well-maintained. It is not uusual to pass middle aged couples on mountain bikes riding along . . . and always saying hello.
The trail sksirts man-made Walker Dam, and its many ducks and ducklings.
In this early Spring (late Spring everywhere else in the UK!), the leaves are still young and fresh . . . and at their greenest.
The more-or-less rare sunny day . . . beautiful light through the green and yellow tree tops.
The Burn of Rubislaw with the path along side.
Sections of the path go along boggy ground.
Immediately before entering the park I pass my favorite tree . . . tall and majestic.
I was greeted with a flash of yellow a gainst the deep blue sky as I entered Hazlehead Park.
I have not been to the park at this exact time of Spring . . . and realized I have not seen these particular trees in yellow leaf.
Hazlehead Park is very popular with famalies and old folk, like me. Fortunately, it is big enough to swollow all the people easliy and still leave enough space for verybody.
In fact, there must be miles of paths through the flowering shrubberies.
Magnifiscent color!
I never had to wait to get a clear photo wthout people in them.
I love flowers.
Picture Post Card, as they say.
I planned by departure from the park to make sure I passed by one of my favorite pieces of public sculpture.
Mechanical man. I see some vandal stole his middle spoon.
Then I was off down the path, under the trees, beside the Burn of Rubislaw, back to my Aberdeen home. A good couple of hours of exercise.
