Orchard Heritage Park

On Sunday D. and I visited Orchard Heritage Park, and here are some of the pics I took.

The apricot orchard.



An old dray in the foreground, and old cultivators behind it, at the edge of the orchard.



A 13-shank tractor-drawn orchard cultivator, or, as I like to call it, the curly-cue machine.



Dead California asters.



A rusty harrow lies idle in the late afternoon sun.



A yellow mum in the garden next to the Sunnyvale Heritage Park Museum.



A circle of bricks outside the museum is a gathering place for fallen leaves.



A wall of tiles decorated with kiddie art is on one side of the garden.  Here we see the Battie Scarred Monster tile.



Next, the Vacant-Eyed, Red-Faced Smiling Stick Man Tile.



Then there's, um, "GWERP."



Begonias are awash with afternoon sun.



Brilliant dahlias dance in the breeze.



A fiery skipper sips nectar from a lantana.



Skippers are adorable little butterflies.



A western fence lizard basks on a tree stump.



Happy Fall.
