The Poor farm
Good Morning and wishing all who visit a good day
Recently one of my follower son Farcebook asked me if I had any photos of a spot in our city which is officially called Victory park, but for many in the city it is referred to as the poor farm, which is where she asked me if I had photos from there as she has moved to Florida years ago but visited this spot may times when she was young.
I have shared some photos in a post from this spot before but her request had me go back and edit a few more shots from visits I have made to this park

as I said it is officially called Victory Park or at least that is how it shows on the maps, but is known by many locals as Poor Mans farm
if you are wondering like I was about that name here's some history on it
I was intrigued how it got the name of the Poor Farm and looked it up and found
The Poor Farm dates back to 1828, when the then-town of New Bedford purchased 75 acres on Clarks Point for $4,700. In the coming years, the farm was developed into a complex including a poorhouse, a hospital for sick seamen, a workhouse for criminals who committed minor offenses and later a “pest house,” or hospital for people with contagious diseases.
Now its a small park with a pond and a warming house beside it,

I haven't been back there recently, in fact its been a week or two since I got out for a walk, and I am sure its nowhere as green now as it was back when I took these shots

I love the greens around the pond and the times I have bene there it is so quite and peaceful, this next shot was a missed shot of a bird flying over the pond but I still liked it

Hope you out and about soon once again, although with cold season preparing for Christmas most are busy indoors.
yeah stil struggling wiht my sinuses and being sensible and staying indoors I suspect I wont get outdoors for walks till well after my surgery
Inner-self tells you stay home, listen it's normally right. Once the surgery is over, hope all runs smoothly to have you going again. Plenty photographs I'm sure to keep you busy indoors as well.
yes indeed, I am getting ideas for some new things to shoot indoors and at least with age I am learning to be sensible ISH lOL
Different lighting and set up with lens, you done some awesome photography in the past, will look forward to seeing them.

Looks like a very interesting place! The power pole in the middle of the pond is pretty funny to me. The greens are just amazing!
I will admit that power pole I did fin funny as well, its a small little patk but a relaxing spot with an interesting history
Nice captures of the reflections. A lot of history on those lands it looks like a beautiful place now that it's a park. We both have awhile before we see any places like this that are so green.
thanks for your visit and yeah a long while till we see the greens again
I'm always down for some nice reflection photos. And also like the green as we still have snow cover today. Happy Friday
Thanks kindly your support is appreciated
