On Kentucky Ave.

Several blocks of Kentucky Ave. are very nice with park space in front of the buildings and art. Also a bit of a missed opportunity to me. I think these nice blocks would be even better if the buildings had store fronts rather then just single entries.

Sunday in the parks

Lakeland has one of the best parks systems that I have seen. They are great places to enjoy on Sunday or any day. Here are Hollis Garden an exquisite botanical paradise and a great place for taking photos. Beyond that is Barnett family park with three very nice building that can be used for events, in addition to children's play areas and nice places to sit back and relax. Both are on the Lake Mirror Promenade.

Munn Park

The heart of downtown Lakeland is Munn Park. This is a very inviting place with huge old oak trees and beautiful landscaping. Several restaurants across the street have outdoor seating that are almost always full with people enjoying this setting.

Butterflies Too!

Yep, there are artful butterflies around town as well. This one has been moved to a great knew park since the photo was taken. I’m showing it because I wanted a photo of Munn Park right in the heart of downtown today, but I also wanted to participate in the City Daily Photo theme day.

The theme today is yellow and this fit’s the bill wonderfully! Click here to view thumbnails for all participants
