Some pictures from Nashville's Centennial Park, as well as leftovers of neighbor dogs and plant life.





Che bella Bella!



Elegant Ruby.



Siblings taking a nap.



One of my favorite trees: a sweet gum. I love the star-shaped leaves.



One of the first signs of fall. It's been very muted this year because of the dry summer.



New daisy.



Crape Myrtle and sunken garden.











Pigeons flocking! I took a lot of these. Unfortunately, none of them quite capture the stunning blue of the pigeons against the landscape. But I tried.





















If you're wondering why there's a full-scale replica of the Parthenon in the middle of Nashville, click here.

Also, BOO to whatever idiot park designer decided to put a parking lot between the Parthenon and the pond, thus messing up everyone's photos forever and ever.



I'm pretty sure this is a catawba tree, but it's also the only one I've ever seen growing in water, so I'm not 100% positive.







Dabbling ducks!













"What is this gra-vi-tee you speak of?"



The Parthenon being imposing. Did I mention the "full-scale" part of the "replica"?





West Pediment.



I got really into the columns.

I especially loved the flying pigeons. And the daredevil squirrel :)

Ruby and Bella? Oh, man, please tell me they were named for the SPN characters. ;)

Hmm, kinda reminds me of another park I visited recently with an art museum inspired by European architecture...

Awww, these dogs are such cuties. They quite distracted me from all the lovely scenery and imposing architectural details that came afterwards.
