It's long walk from the train station to Dennings Point. They're doing some landscaping at the beginning [near Long Dock area] and have already made quite a few imrovements - different grass, plantings, occasional mini paths for closer river views.
We saw a lot of birds and a variety of flora. John W is very good at flower and bird identification and he tolf me the names of many but the only flower id I could remember was chicory. So I googled wildflowers and came up with names that I think are accurate for some of the pix below.
Six of us brunched at the Yankee Clipper.
