In this case the park is the Los Angeles County Arboretum in Arcadia California - Arcadia is one city east of Pasadena - a place where many pea fowl live and squawk.
Remarkably the Arboretum has been open to visitors in this time of the Coronavirus. Leslie and I took an hour-long stroll there several days ago. In this time of shelter in place we were happy to get out to somewhere beautiful.
On the same day we visited, the L.A.Times ran this article about how and why the Arboretum has stayed open during the pandemic. (Quick answer: wide roads.)
While we were there I took a few pictures. Landscapes aren't really my thing. (Click on these shots and somehow they get bigger.)
This tree-trunk face looks to have a third eye. Or maybe it's a doctor wearing a head mirror.
I also shot some video. Later I added music. The music is adapted from two old 30-Second Spots: Druella's Four-part Gossip Reel (which I composed Oct. 4, 2004) and Nothing to Wear (composed Oct. 5, 2004). I'll let you guess which is which:
