We live just about a block from Highland Park. It was designed by Robert Law Olmstead and is the site of an annual Lilac Festival that draws thousands of visitors each May. When we went for a walk earlier this week, I was delighted to see these beautiful new signs on Goodman Ave.
Here are a few more shots (taken with my point and shoot) as we walked to the park and around the neighborhood.
The Highland Park Reservoir
There are still a few trees with most of the leaves still on the tree.
I love the shape of this tree. There are several old trees in Highland Park that are just lovely.
Tracy noticed the cool shadows along the sidewalk from the reservoir fence.
Lovely photos, your point and shoot takes good shots. Have a lovely weekend - the weather in these photos looks beautiful!

Your pictures are so vibrant. Do you do something to them in Photoshop or does your camera just take really good pictures.

I did a little sharpening in Photoshop Elements, but this camera does take wonderful photos. It's a Canon Digital Elph 770 IS. I almost always have it with me.
