4 february 2012 - a k park gardens

ak park gardens - to be out in the fresh air and sunshine with your pals is good for the soul. ducks making their presence known, a graceful heron, a few gulls and the ever-changing posturing of the turtles add to the passing entertainment.  all are works in progress - it takes more than a day to figure it all out.
