Playmeadow = Park? Recreational Area?

(these things interest me...)
I was lazy, so I transliterated an old Dutch word for a playground. But you got the drift.

I actually Googled it... couldn’t find an answer. 

We grew up across a “Play Swamp” literally.
Tamarack Swamp... growing up next door to a wetlands offered many great adventures.  ;D

They have since bisected it with a road, decreased it’s area by squeezing homes and paved trails around its borders... but the memories live on!

Following up on yesterday's tree-infested imagery, today I ran into a Sequioa in a pinetum close to Drakensteyn (former queen Beatrix' residence).

This is Peanut.   He “knocks” on the door when he’s hungry.  Here’s what we see when we open the door.

Bill, tgo

Once had a squirrel try to tear a hole in the screen door to get in the kitchen.  Had tell him that wasn't a good idea.

I see the skies of blue, but where are the clouds of white? ;)

Looks like you all had a nice day down there, Dave.

An image of beauty ! 8)
 I have some very close shots of a mated pair of Ravens that I have gained the trust of . I shall post them as well . ( after I reduce the size of the image )
Ravens and Crows usually mate for life . I am not as knowledgeable regarding Eagles .

These two Ravens were graciously willing to come very close to me and trust me for a pose . They reminded me of " Huginn and Muninn " from Old Norse Mythology . Respectively they represent "Thought and Memory ".They make a commitment for life !  They are my friends !

Lovely. We have many ravens here in the Pacific Northwest. I feel like they have a lot to teach me.
