Rainy Tuesday...Gotta love New England

The morning started off cloudy and dim. Not the kind of day on which one anticipates a relaxing time outdoors, but the roads were still dry and the scooter was running, so it was time to take a ride.


The first stop was Stanley Park again, to get some pictures of the flora. The light rain had left droplets on the flowers.


The roses were especially beautiful this morning.


This particular weeping spruce draws the eye as one travels toward one of the many paths leading down to the ponds. From this angle, it looks much like a slightly misshapen mastodon.


A stroll down to the duck pond and up the other side takes one past an old school house, behind which can be found the herb gardens.


This joyful little fellow seems completely unbothered by both the lack of water in his pitcher and the near miss from the tree branch that most likely came to rest there during the recent hurricane.


It was time to leave the park and continue down the road, but not before a picture was taken of the scooter in front of one of the park's many fountains.
