Sublime and Beautiful Sunday early fall in the park

This post is for #SublimeSunday is inspired by @c0ff33a and #BeautifulSunday is initiated by @ace108.

I hope your weekend is going well

For todays posts I decided to go with some shots taken on a recent visit to Buttonwood Park here in New Bedford to see if the fall colors were coming out, now at the time I did this walk the colors were just starting and as I prepare this post ( a week in advance) I havent made it back to see if more colors are out, but hopefully by the time I share this I will have made a nother visit there

Starting with these colorful leaves

Located on 97 acres in New Bedford’s West End, Buttonwood Park is the largest and most visited public park in the city. The park is an oasis of nature right here in New Bedford, with gardens, a pond, an arboretum, walking paths, a playground, a zoo, and several ball fields and basketball courts.

Buttonwood Park is not just a treasure for its recreational opportunities — it’s also a historical treasure. In 1895, Charles Eliot of the famed architectural firm Olmsted, Olmsted & Eliot developed the original master plan for the park. In 1988, a new Olmsted-inspired master plan was adopted, serving as a blueprint for The Friends of Buttonwood Park to improve the park.

In 2000, Buttonwood Park and parts of the surrounding neighborhood were listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Today, Buttonwood Park offers the community a place to escape from the stresses of city life and enjoy nature

And another of the large fields in the park, it truly is such a lovely park enjoyed by many inthe city when I visit there I always see people walking around or through the park, more so than other alks, but that could well be because most of my other walks are in the early morning and I generally visit this park during the day
