Some Pictures Must Be Taken. Some Quotes Must Be Quoted.
What’s my favourite place?
The one I’ve been posting most pictures of, ever since I started this blog–Heaton Park, Manchester.
You feel like you’re in the middle of the woods without having left the city.
I go there in spring, summer and autumn and I always take a lot of pictures. I have more photographs from Heaton Park on my hard drive than any other place.
It’s been good doing the Weekly Photo Challenge again!
What am I laughing at?
Nothing, actually (at least nothing connecting to this post). It’s a different ha-ha I’m talking about today.
A ha-ha is a type of a wall (keeping the theme here) that keeps livestock out but doesn’t ruin the view.
Heaton Park in Manchester has them and here I give you some pictures:
Naturally, the first question one asks is, how the hell did they get that name? From Wikipedia:
The unusual name “ha-ha” is thought to have stemmed from the exclamations of surprise by those coming across them as the walls were designed to be invisible.
It’s a good job those coming across weren’t swearing. Otherwise we’d have to call them fuck-where-did-this-come-from.
A change of pronoun on the usual Anne of Green Gables October quote. I imagine it’s an Instagram story Diana would send to Anne.
For this week’s photo challenge, I am posting four pictures.
Not looking very spring-like yet, but plenty of green.
Trees, of course, they can’t be missing.
Moss.
Okay, so that’s not strictly green only, but everyone loves daffodils, right?
