Three scenes from Sholom Park and the Kreativ Blogger Award

We have posted a few photos of Sholom Park previously. Sholom Park, just west of downtown Ocala, is a beautiful meditational park, designed and donated by a local developer. Much more information about this facility is available here.

    The color on that first one is stunning! The flowers here are starting to fade and the leaves are falling. Your pictures make me think of perpetual summer.

    I took the link and checked out their website. That looks like a wonderful park. Nicely landscaped and maintained.
    Congratulations to you both on the award. It is well deserved.

    Congrats! Those little yellow and orange flowers (called oeillets d'Inde in French i.e. carnations of India) are amongst my favourite, even though they don't smell very nice. Gorgeous photo, lighting up my drab Sunday (yucky sky!)

    The gated entrance is very inviting. I imagine you can sit and just relax and take in the beautiful landscaping. (And sneak a long cigar to clear the mind and soul.)
