Sometimes it’s worth remembering to look away from the sunset, too. I stopped to capture this view yesterday.

(Incidentally: yes, there are signs and light poles inside the pond. The park doubles as a flood control basin.)

Geese at the amphitheatre.

Geese at the amphitheatre.

This city park has a pond which attracts ducks, coots, seagulls, and as near as I can tell a permanent flock of Canada Geese that wander around the banks of the pond and the open space at the south end, where these terraces are located.

Let’s just say I don’t think I’d want to sit on the ground in that part of the park.

Rocketship park (one of very few remaining parks with this sort of climbing structure). I stopped to grab coffee and realized I’d been able to see the shopping center from the park…so it stood to reason I ought to be able to see the park from the shopping center.

Yep!

I think the #BlackAndWhite version works a bit better on this.

Apparently Polliwog Park doubles as a flood control basin. We moved to the area at the beginning of the drought, so it never came up before (so to speak). It was on the way to work,and the storm had moved on, so I stopped to take a look. #park #flooded #manhattanbeach #polliwogpark

Liftoff!

Liftoff!

I slowly crept up toward the seagull hoping to get a photo of it perched on that pole, but it calmly turned around and flew off. I thought I’d missed it when I snapped the photo, but it turns out that I’d caught it just unfurling its wings.

And yes, the water really is that green. Ew.

Back in the day, it seems everything was a piece of art, even the drinking fountains. (Mostly I get a kick out of the idea of a historic drinking fountain. There’s a plaque and everything.) #WHPfromthewater #park #drinkingfountain #shell #manhattanbeach

Yerba Buena Gardens

Yerba Buena Gardens

Looking north across the park on a spring afternoon during WonderCon 2010. It rained most of the weekend, but the one day we were (mostly) indoors was the one day that the sun came out.

The tiered building to the left is the Marriott Marquis, the convention hotel. The church across the way is St. Patrick’s. The tall building behind it is the Four Seasons hotel.
