The south western area of Bluffers Park had been closed for several years as the shoreline was being reinforced. I was delighted to see this morning that it is now open and there are many magnificent vistas to be seen.

NATURE POETRY

Without our will they come and go;
At noon our sudden summer burns,
Ere sunset all is snow. – James Russell Lowell (1819–91)
