Parks, Parrots, Pups

The City has gone on a rampage, they are tree trimming. I am from the group who thinks that you really don't have to cut That Much .. whether it is your hair or your trees. So I am  quite a bit bothered by the sight of some of my favorite trees in the park, being cut into the shapes of large broccoli.
And then they leave all the branches lying on the ground, making it look even worse.

One of my favorite trees in that park is one of the Ombu, like a Banyon, they grow forever and continue to reach out with their great huge branches. People who should know better and children , often climb on a branch that is swooping down to the ground and make them rock and swing.. well, they are gone now.

The branches were lying along the ground , now they are lying on the ground, in piles.

I am sure my friends the parrots aren't crazy about it either.. they certainly were busy with the pods on the trees and making their presence know... little bright green squadrons flying low over our heads, squawking all the while.

It was a holiday today, we took Pup for a walk that ended up being a long stroll through the parks, admiring the signs of Spring that are showing here and there.

Pup met another pup .. not sure what they spoke about but the little pup hated to leave. I think he was still unconvinced that they were the same type of pup.

Boats passing , testing the waters for warmer days ahead.

Everywhere we looked, Spring was peeking out at us. It has been a long cold winter ( to me) so I am really looking forward to warmer weather. . and more beautiful signs of Spring
