Ice cream 🍦 and flowers 💮🌹 ... A perfect treat in the Park
Hello Hello Hivians
Spring in the UK can mean so many things with respect to the weather.
It is not unheard of to have snow or hail ❄️
It is the time of the year to get out and get as much fresh air as possible.
So Mrs T and I popped a packed lunch I made and some animal food and headed up to our local park.
We parked ourselves on a secluded bench in the Rose 🌹Garden.
Munching a sandwich it was not long before the feathered friends were coming up to say hello. That was Jackie Jackdaw in all his spendour!
Scotland being Scotland Mrs T has learnt to always take her umbrella ☂️ with her wherever she goes!
There what had started out as a nice sunny day was rapidly turning into grey ominous clouds!
That was me trying out the panoramic shots!
We thought we would goto the pond and feed the ducks and swan and see if the rainclouds would clear. I was told to turn round and take some blossom shots by the bowling clubhouse.
One beauty about spring and the blossoms, cherry blossoms,apple blossoms etc and the gorgeous colours!
Pinks and whites abound and I am sure the wonderful @pinkchic would be in her element😁
Do you know there are some wee shites that hang around the park at night. They have broken windows in the clubhouse three times in the last year!
Here is another example of the wee shites!
☝️☝️ The Greater Spotted Scottish ShoeTree ☝️☝️
You would be fluffing amazed at what they hoiked up into about three or four trees.
I will make a separate post about the trees and the skate park that they are beside! If you think that is a lot of shoes,just wait until I post the trees in all their glory!
Mrs T is part Choctaw and part Cherokee native American and we have a running joke. She is like a scout and points out all sorts of things in nature to me that I miss.
Stop she told me as we went towards the ice cream van for an after lunch treat!
Take some shots of these beautiful flowers and then google them when we get home!
Yes ma'am!
I thought I would be all artsy and get down and dirty for a shot from underneath!
Guess who forget it had been raining, and the grass was like an ice rink...
Yep someone ended up on their arse, and someone else was laughing!
Hence the blurry shot
Now get some good shots of all those, they are pretty she says!
I think the big pink buds belong to a Rhododendron bush.
I must admit whenever I see flowers I think of #alwaysaflower and @dswigle who is my goto flower guru. Am I wrong as usual Denise?
Now then lets change colour away from pink.
Hands up if you know what these ones are called?
I have a sneaky feeling that they are Rhododendron ‘Gartendirektor Rieger’ which flower in May and June?
It would make sense and they do look like what I found in Google Lens!
And there we go, some more of the gorgeous big pink buds!
#alwaysaflower is such a great tag, they really make a person smile, well this person anyway and he is the want that counts at the moment 🤣
So there we have them all together so perhaps they are all Rhododendrons!
All this detective work deserved a big treat!
A reason why you should always take money to the park!
When we don't the ice cream van is there.
Now Super Eli @coquicoin look I got both the Flakes as Mrs T is not a fan of 🍫

Haste Ye Back!
Nice and beautiful photos. Thank you for sharing and have an awesome day!
I very much enjoyed your trip to the park @tengolotodo! Excellent shots and lots of humor make for an excellent post indeed! It sounds like you both had a wonderful time on your picnic! Those are indeed Rhododendron, though I don't know the species or cultivar. Thank you for sharing your beautiful #WednesdayWalk adventures! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
That is a lovely one, nice job.
Very nice flowers pics, I didn't realize some flowers look like icecreams (or the reverse)

That's a nice walk and that was defo a rhododendron!
Damn did you really?
I tell you the weather has been bloody cold and pretty shitty and here we are in effing May already!
A rhododendron excellent thank you boomy!
Yeah, I think it might even have been Saturday. I shouted to the kids to come out back and see it so it must have been the weekend. Totally annoying as the weird weather has killed hunners of stuff in my garden and it's too shit to get out and fix it all!!
Can only hope that as it's May things start to turn!

Sayang so you are teaching me another new word 😎

Hello, @tengolotodo I think that your fall was not in vain because the flowers that you portrayed are beautiful.
hehe thank you @devania yes the fall was not in vain, the flowers were beautiful and I think I shall go back this weekend to see them again!
Good thing you guys are allowed to fees birds there? Because it isn't here coz it might just create a mess....
But the last photo make me crave ice cream..dmn...it's getting hotter here.. Should be great to grab one and just suffer the consequences later..gluten and lactose intolerance sucks..
Yes we can feed the birds, although not the seagulls as they are dive bombing pests!
Hehe gotta love an ice cream at anytime!
Oh no is that right! Poor you, that does not help with putting weight on Jane!
They are Rhodies!! They are glorious and one of my favorite flowers! I love that mine come in January or sometimes February, just when there is nothing blooming and we have been done with winter.
That is such a beautiful park and perhaps the officers of the law should wander down there at night and join those hooligans!
Did you get to feed the swans and ducks? Three sets of Mallard ducks have ducklings already, one has 13, the other 12, and one has 4... I have water right across the street from me, but, the duck nested under one of my evergreen bushes.
This a beautiful post and yummy too! Look at that ice cream and I don't even eat it!! Thanks for the shoutout and #alwaysaflower support!
Have a wonderful week ahead!
Aww that is brilliant Denise I was pretty sure the pink ones were Rhodies but not so much the while flowers were! Yours come at a great time, as Jan and Feb here are pretty bleak.
Oh yes I remember last year you telling me about the duck that nests under one of your bushes. That is just wonderful, we did feed the one swan and some moorhens, no mallards today for some reason there were none. The seagulls managed to get some food even though we shoo the wee buggers away!
The ice cream is always a treat as you never when the ice cream van will be parked at the park!
Hit or miss.
Thank you so much for your wonderful reply Denise and enjoy the rest of your week @dswigle
Haha... You should listen to Mrs. T. Always do. She is always ready for the weather change and that is amazing.
These pictures are fluffing good.🤗
aww thank you my fluffy Balikis 😉
haha well you women are usually right!
😂😂😂. What other choice do ye have than to agree? Thanks my fluffy Teng.

Those shoes on the tree, Super Ed? Do people really leave their shoes hanging on trees? 😂
It's breakfast time around here and thanks to you guess what I want for breakfast? ICE CREAM!!! hehe
I still can't believe Mrs. T doesn't like chocolate. So you got all the flakes, eh? you are so greedy hehe.
Yes greedy me gets all the flakes hehe, yep she so rarely eats chocolate and even then like a little piece!
Yes they really have loads of shoes in the trees!
I have to make a post about it but CBA i have so many to make !
Absolutely beautiful. You know one thing my wife and I don't do enough of is day trips and picnics. I need to fix that. I guess maybe because we camp so much we don't really think to do it. I still need to make more of an effort with her. She totally deserves it. It looks like you had an amazing day here!
That park is a five minute walk away, but even then we need to actually go there, usually in the summer will go and walk around it!
That is awesome! It looks beautiful!
Wow! This is both life and love for me Tito Ed. Did you know I so love Cherry Blossoms and of course the ice cream. This place is so amazing just like you. Best regards.
Aww salamat CJ I of course thought of you with all that pink everywhere, but yeah the Cherry Blossoms are gorgeous and the ice cream.
What an amazing comment just like CJ :)

Your welcome. What a a leisurely walk, especially when surrounded by vibrant and colorful blooms adding delectable ice cream and great conversation with friend :) You have a wee wonderful weekend ahead !!!
i think making Fife look appealing is your biggest skill 😁
(despite living in Dunfermline for a number of years, and my daughters both being born in Kirkcaldy, there are some Edinbugh boy prejudices which are hard to shake)
hehe you know I was actually christened in Dunfermline Abbey!
I grew up in Edinburgh though with maternal grandparents who were East Neuk Fifers. The problem with Fife is generally when you go inland and then the colliery towns I think!
Nice day out at the park ! The blossoms look great - love this time of year ! Mind yersel next time !

Yes, spring is a bit predictable down here with varying degrees of heat from mild to extreme. I like it when it is in between :)
I love the beauty of flowers in the spring. The flowers are beautiful and the place looks cozy; perfect for stimulating the imagination.
They are gorgeous really, and can put a smile on most faces!
Thanks and enjoy the rest of your weekend :)

Look. He gets to have icecream after landing on his arse😂
Those are some big words you used for those flowers. I'm not a flower person but I can honestly say those are beautiful.
I trekked home when the cloud was dark. Honestly, I revel in the storm. Even though I ended up running halfway so as not to be soaked. I enjoyed it still.
Mrs. T sounds fun. God knows I'd be laughing like a maniac at your dirty arse😂
haha well a dirty arse needs ice cream!
haha I could just see you and Mrs T egging each other on laughing harder and harder at me 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah you and your darkness, I am not surprised you reveled in it!

Oh we will laugh. Matilda may join us too with a gin bottle
