Park Life

Today, Cillian and I went for a walk in nearby Trumper Park.
Trumper park consists of a cricket and football oval, cricket in the Summer and Aussie Rules Football in the Winter. Its also host to Little Athletics and of course, families out to kick a ball or through a frisbee.
Some people still throw frisbees.

Besides that there is a playground and on the escarpment that leads up to Edgecliff, a compact little park with wandering trails, a pond and many trees and shrubs.

We sat at the pond and watched Indian minah birds harass a peewit. Otherwise the park was very quiet. I had brought a book on the slim chance that our little hero would sleep, but no chance of that, so we played some games and had fun.

There aren't many flowers native to Sydney, but there are plenty of flowering shrubs.
The bottle brush that my mother kept as shrubs in the front garden grow as beautiful trees here and they are in bloom now. The frangipani, although not actually a native is very popular here and is nearer the end of its blossoming season.
