Venetian Gardens Park

March 17, 2019Dinata Misovec

I was reminded today that I have not been updating my blog very much. Sometimes life just gets away from me and I am swept up in activity, useful and not so useful. We have been out walking a good bit to get Andy’s new knees a workout and to build up some muscle he has lost over the past few years. I have actually gotten out of the habit of wearing my camera!!!!!!! I have taken a few of Venetian Gardens, which is a lakefront city park here in Leesburg and a beautiful place to take a walk.

From Wikipedia: In 1938, during the Great Depression, the Franklin D. Roosevelt administration invested in infrastructure and improvement projects across the county. Its Works Progress Administration began work on the Venetian Gardens waterside park, located on the shores of Lake Harris. These canals and gardens have been a centerpiece of the community ever since.

As its name suggests, the park is full of canals and bridges.

The park is home to a wide variety of birds.

I am rather proud of this Anhinga portrait.

I have never caught a fish but enjoy watching others try their luck. Lake County is named so for its many lakes. This may be one of the most scenic fishing spots.

We have seen this bird-feeding person tossing large quantities of food on several occasions.

The water lilies are beginning to bloom.

  Thank you Peter! We have been overwhelmed with medical issues for months, but now I should get back into the habit of picture taking and blogging.

    They don’t tell you about these things when you are younger do they! Hips, knees, elbows, and shoulders should have an annual service perhaps?

    I have noted in the past that my joints needed a lube job. I bit of oil in the spine would be nice too!

Dinata and Andy

So happy to hear from you again. Best wishes to Andy and his new knees! Tonight and tomorrow night I have âauthor eventsâ (book signings) at the Parkesburg PA library mystery book club, and the âBaby Boomers Book Clubâ right here in Hersheyâs Mill. Should be fun.

  Looks like we missed it. How did it go? I am scheduled to speak at the Leesburg Library in the fall.
