Magnolia Garden

On a lunchtime walk with ArgyleSockGirl, we explored one of the quieter, more isolated parks in olde city: Magnolia Park. I think one of my newest goals in life is to be able to eat lunch and/or read in a park without being run over by tourists (otherwise known as the tourii) or bothered by unwashed creepers.

This park seemed like a lovely place to walk around, however, ArgyleSockGirl informed me that these white, iron benches are not comfortable (I'm not sure if you can see it, but the bars are just the right size to cause you immense discomfort). But there was quite a sizable green patch in the middle of the park where you could spread out a blanket.

On the day we went. the weather was a bit overcast, but I'm sure that on a warm day, the spray from the fountain would be lovely. We were a little puzzled over the creepy-looking grate under the surface of the water., but we chalked it up to someone's well-meaning concern over the possibility of a child accidentally drowning.
