Water Features at Whitman Center

The reflecting pool and the moat around the statuary at the Walt Whitman Center are full of water now. The moat around the fountain has a current and I foresee a few informal boat races over the summer.

Riverwalking Notes

It was a beautiful day to take a walk today. There were three fisherman along the river. One said he had just missed a catfish. Among the geese by the boat docks were several fluffy goslings. One bird I did not recognize was very small, bright shiny blue back feathers and a little red around the throat. It was a little too big to be a hummingbird but too small to be anything else. Throngs of school kids flocked around the aquarium.

More Weekend Kick-Offs

This weekend marks the opening of several other local area activities besides the RiverLink Ferry.

The Collingswood Farmers Market opens tomorrow. Get the freshest vegetables, flowers and other yummy things along with information on growing your own. More information here. There is also a town wide yard sale in Collingswood this weekend.

The Camden Riversharks start their season tonight. Fireworks and opening day celebrations are on the schedule.

With the less than great weather this weekend, you may not be tempted to go right away...but keep these events in mind as they start this weekend and continue through the fall.
