Highland Park Azalea Trail Volksmarch 03/30/2002
|
The walk start. |
The walk had to be rerouted due to heavy rains this morning. This was the first waterfall on the creek. |
|
The bridge over the creek. |
The hill with steps. We came down this way at the end of the walk. |
|
This was a beautiful Azalea bush with a dogwood behind it, and a nice fence. Lenore wanted to take the picture so I let her, never realizing that because of the height difference, we wouldn't get the Azaleas. |
This group were from out of state (I think). |
|
This was a neat apartment building. The camera didn't capture them, but most of the balcony's have huge trees growing on them. |
It rained steadily (but not too heavily) while we were walking. |
|
The water is really pouring over the fall. |
This is a fountain. |
|
This is a "sinkhole" in the middle of the creek. I assume it is manmade, but don't know it's purpose. |
The start of an area with lots of pretty Azaleas. |
|
More Azaleas. |
This is a huge waterfall. |
|
Bridge over the waterfall. |
These are really neat bears. |
|
Our checkpoint volunteers cheerfully greeted us, in spite of being soaked. |
Another one of the bears. |
|
Looking at the worms on the sidewalk. |
Lenore didn't want to pose with the turtle. |
|
Bronze statues. |
Another Bronze Statue |
|
Multi-color Azalea group |
Another great stone bridge. (Build by the CCC back in the 30s???) |
|
The trail here was high enough we could walk along the creek. |
Easter Decorations. |
|
End in site. These are the steps I showed you at the first of the pictures. |
This is the soda fountain at the Highland Park Pharmacy (just off the Katy Trail). This Pharmacy has been doing business in this location since 1923. |
