Located not far from Lake Michigan, Hamilton Park has a beautiful setting and great place to sit and enjoy life.
This is an older shot, but still sitting and waiting for some views. Very lucky to shoot Hamilton from the escarpment. Not too many spots without trees in the way.
Happy Sunday

Hamilton Gardens
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hamilton Gardens is a public garden park in the south of Hamilton owned and managed by Hamilton City Council in New Zealand. The 54-hectare park is based on the banks of the Waikato River and includes enclosed gardens, open lawns, a lake, a nursery, a convention centre and the Hamilton East Cemetery. It is the Waikato Region's most popular visitor attraction, attracting more than 1 million people and hosting more than 2,000 events a year.
Hamilton Gardens is described in popular culture as a botanical garden, but does not technically qualify as a botanical garden. Instead, the site features 21 gardens representing the art, beliefs, lifestyles and traditions of different civilisations or historical garden styles. These gardens are grouped into the Paradise, Productive, Fantasy, Cultivar and Landscape garden collections, and there is space for gardens which are still in development.
The first development of the gardens began in the early 1960s at what was then the city's waste disposal site. The first substantial development, the Rogers Rose Garden, was opened in 1971 in an attempt to block highway development over the site. Since 1982 many newly developed areas have been opened to the public. Additional features of the gardens now include a lake walkway and a waterfall lookout.
Golfers (I am not one) will likely recognize this red building called the Hamilton Grand on the edge of the Old Course in St. Andrews, Scotland. Although there are some that will dispute St. Andrews as the birthplace of golf, very few will argue as to its huge significance to the sport. www.hamiltongrand.co.uk

This will likely be the last fall scene I take this year as the white stuff is all around us and it is the season of frozen fingers.
Thank you, my kind Flickr friends, for visiting my site and taking the time to leave a comment. Truly appreciated!

It is owned and managed by the Royal Botanical Gardens (RBG), a private charitable status organization. The marsh is part of the Cootes Paradise Nature Reserve, with these lands representing 99% of the unaltered lands along the local Lake Ontario shoreline. The site is a National Historic site, a Nationally Important Bird Area, and a Nationally Important Reptile and Amphibian Area.
