The Cabin Trail

The Cabin Trail
The Cabin Trail

-----
One of the trails at Bowman's Hill Wildflower Preserve in Washington Crossing, Pennsylvania.
-----------
The park was devastated last year, first from the ravages of Hurricane Irene and then from the deluges of the damaging storms that followed.
----
Trees fell like dominoes, the pond was destroyed, bridges were washed away. But the worst blow to the park was that the 10-foot wrought iron fence and gate that surrounded the park were trashed, allowing deer to "have their way" with the abundant blossoms.
----
This was shot on May 3. The deer fence is back up (though I do not know how or IF the deer were taken out), the bridges have been repaired, a new pond is being constructed in a "safer" location. All the work has been done with donated funds.
-----
It's a wonderful place to take your family, if you are in the area.

  We had a similar problem at Honor Heights Park in Muskogee. We had 2 really bad ice storms that destroyed about half of the park's flowering trees, and the next year a severe drought (still ongoing) that destroyed over half the azaleas. They are just now getting around to doing some replanting. This is their second replanting..the first one didn't take due to the dry conditions. It will never look like it used to in my lifetime. It makes me very sad. I used to go over there several times a week in the spring, this year I went twice.

  We here in Alabama certainly suffered from the tornadoes, many lives were lost as well as homes, property, etc.

Your image shows much beauty, love your composition Michelle, well done!

  Always hard to see the destruction that can happen so quickly. As Jo Ann mentioned, in Alabama here we have seen so much of it in property and life.
I am so glad you were able to get some of these beautiful pictures for a keepsake, also serving as a reminder that with time and care these places can make a comeback.
Marvelous photo journal work my friend.

  Beautiful place to visit and so very well captured, Michelle! I love the lush, greenery. We just left this kind of scenery in Oregon and now down here in So Cal, everything is turning brown...including our lawn! Somehow the sprinklers got turned off while we were away. So glad they were able to restore this park.
