Tyler Park
A peaceful windless Hanukkah Eve at the Tyler Park
It’s the perfect condition for practicing the art of stone skipping and skimming
Geese flocks are heading to the Lake Luxemburg for a good night sleep
A lonely paraglider is exploiting this golden opportunity
to fly with feathered companions
before landing in his back yard to get home in time for Hanukkah celebration
We already had some frost this fall so it’s an official Indian summer.

The last day of September in the Tyler Park.
Just silhouettes.
Almost every time I visit Lake Luxembourg I meet my old pal Blue Heron. It has a couple of favorite spots there and it is not shy to show off its glamour physique. This most popular image of it so far was taken in 2015.
In my judgment, it still easily wins the Mr. Lake Luxembourg title in 2018.
And the runners up are… our own Canadian geese
The honorable mention goes to the cormorants for the great teamwork.
Sadly, nothing good ever last long enough. The golden hour quickly ended with dusk and everybody looked forward to a good night's sleep.
It is still possible to find some winter-like views in Tyler Park:
But more and more signs of spring's arrival are visible:
including the most unmistakable signs of all that spring is upon us - teens spending value added time in nature:
The park main attraction is the Neshaminy Creek. Local families stroll along its idyllic shores and explore numerous ways to practice patience, such as throwing pebbles into the water, pretending fishing, or walking their dogs.
But to every rule there is an exception - and there are daring people ready to demonstrate it. Just the other day I came across such amazing bunch of good sports - a group of parents and their kids that occupied shores of a small branch of the Creek with a bridge over it. Apparently parents were nostalgic about good old times when creeks were clean and the living was easy. So, they encouraged the kids to jump off the bridge into the shallow water and captured these priceless family moments with their iPhones and tablets.
The parents, kids, and innocent bystanders - they all seemed to be having a lot of fun.
Well, no fun can last forever. A cop came and spoiled the party.
Tired but satisfied, the party left the scene of their glory.
Just a regular day at the park. Still no snow, beautiful muted autumnal colors.
beauty in simplicity
withered beauty
beauty in the sky
