Enter park - Modern art |
Like any other public park, you are bound to run into some modern art, there was a very strange piece of metal artwork bolted in the ground ...

Capybaras/cattle/emu :) |
High Park Gardens |
Out and about (not around in the spring) I saw a couple of capybaras. Not sure what they are? I wasn't either. They originate from South America and are the largest rodents on earth! To me they have the face of a beaver and a body of a small hippo but they're cute nonetheless. The Highland cattle were out again like in the spring along with the Emu which kept following me everywhere I went along the fence. Everyone thought it was funny but I think we bonded :)
Huge rhubarb in 1st pic! |
They have a landscape and gardening training centre on the premises and judging by the results, I would say its working. Finally just before heading out for some food, one last stop to look at the famous Grenadier pond which looked like glass. A few signs a long the pond warn of poison ivy so you're safe to to roam anywhere where signs are not posted because Parks and Rec are always scouting for unsafe plants.
