Daily Note
Every day, a photograph, a poem. On a walk through Cole Park we enjoyed the songbirds evening calls, different from the morning ones. We heard so many birds, probably because they needed new homes since their old homes in the Maple Trees of Ferry Street were chopped down. [Heartbreak].
We walked closer to the greenery, search for the movement of the birds in the trees and shrubs, hoping for a closer look at the lovely ones singing. Instead, we discovered a new shrub with white flowers of pointy, white petals— small flowers above larger serrated leaves.
In a reverse image search with my own photo, I think the shrub is from the Family: Hydrangeaceae and Genus: Deutzia. There are sixty different species, and perhaps this is one. Our park was planted long ago with many different types of plants, so it could be. There are many different plants with white flowers in the park— it’s amazing the diversity of nature, something to appreciate, even in human beings.
And so, a poem.
Poetry
Nature’s Diversity
Strolling through the park
Sheri Edwards
Listening to songbirds
Looking for their perch
Discovering a new bush
Pausing to remember
Noticing it’s many white, small , pointy petals
Dancing above large pointed, serrated leaves
Appreciating nature’s diversity.

I think this is from the Family: Hydrangeaceae and Genus: Deutzia — a flowering shrub we hadn’t seen before in Cole Park on our walk.
I wonder, if I draw a line...
