Is that where you went once with your son/d-i-l, and Leo? Suddenly I can't remember, but that too is filled with history, and is a great place to visit. There may be a fee at this time of year, but after Labor Day, you can just drive out, or ride bikes, and explore.<br /> Take care,<br />j.supplies overflowing!https://www.blogger.com/profile/02701676503667687058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-2216221879985991362010-07-07T13:08:55.131-04:002010-07-07T13:08:55.131-04:00I love all of the community gardens!

But the brick walkway really is my favorite, such loving care shown for their space. The history of Dead Horse Bay was really interesting. It's so beautiful now, but I imagine the smell used to be unbearable. Love the shot of the path leading to it.

I love that the Administration Building - it's art deco with a twist - it looks almost georgian in architecture!!! <br /><br />Gosh it is very sobering when seeing all these bottles washed up on the shore! I like to think that glass bottles are a million times "better" than plastic - but it's still sad that human rubbish continues to be washed ashore ( no matter now valuable)! <br /><br />Oh but I do love that crab - its so prehistoric! Amazing.<br /><br />Thanks again for sharing! And I hope you stay cool!! Looks like it's really heating up where you are!
