A magnolia by the lake in West Park. The thin stems which held the flowers were growing straight upwards from the branches. The tree was flowering back in early May.

Judas tree growing by the West Park Conservatory. It was in full flower back in early May. I took this picture from the opposite shore of the lake, to get it reflected in the calm water.

At the start of this month, the West Park Canada goose goslings were once again out on the grass near the lake, busy feeding under the supervision of their parents. All five originally hatched were still there, growing fast.
