Hatherton Lake

Return visit to Walsall Arboretum.  This is the view of a section of the lake in the middle of the park.  Really windy and cold today, but blew the cobwebs away.

The extra photo is a piece of metal art near the visitor centre.  The words by Peadar O'Donaghue  read :-
:
A park is,
 A kick of a ball, a red brick wall, a first kiss, a moonlit wish.
Saturday morning bold and bright, frosty winters huddled tight.
Springs come and autumns go, children play and children grow.
The circle of life in plant and soil, full of hope and full of toil.
There for us through thick and thin, when we lose or if we win.
We may change but it will stay, in darkest night and brightest day,
 Always here, always giving.
A park is for life, so let's start living.
