More from Eureka Springs Park

One of the nice things about living in Florida was that you didn't have to worry about winter. These photos from Eureka Springs Park were taken in the middle of winter.

Probably not the kind of animal life you were expecting. This is the park cat.

Flowers.


Not sure what this one is.


Base of a Cypress tree.


Another orchid.


More orchids.

More from Eureka Springs Park

Yet another trip to Eureka Springs Park. Who can blame me for frequenting a place with so many photographic subjects, especially when it was less than ten miles from where I lived?

Another rose.


And another.


Hibiscus.


An unusual color for a hibiscus.


Very interesting orchid.

More from Eureka Springs Park

Seems like I was just at Eureka Springs Park. Oh wait, I was. One of the great things about this park, in addition to the beautiful outdoor gardens, is the greenhouse. Many of the flower photos in this post, as well as the last post, were taken in the greenhouse.

Water lillies. Of course, these were not in the greenhouse.



Another water lily.

A very patient grasshopper.

Eureka Springs Park, Tampa

I discovered Eureka Springs Park when I was living in the Tampa suburb of Brandon. It's one of those small urban parks that can make you forget you're in the middle of a city. These photos are from my first of many trips to the park. If you would like more information, please follow the link in the Landmarks I've Visited section.

There are lots of ponds in the park, so water lillies are a common sight.
