Baby Sparrow Learning How To Fly at Cianfrani Park

Walking Aiden to Penns Landing this evening, I noticed a baby bird learning how to fly at Cianfrani Park. In my attempt to photograph it, I think I scared the poor thing and and caused it to crash into a parked bicycle. Sorry birdie!

Fortunately, the baby bird was ok and flew onto the next fence.

Schuylkill River Park

The Park, nestled along the Schuylkill River, spans the area from Pine Street to Spruce Street. For sports recreation it offers a baseball diamond, soccer field, tennis courts and basketball courts. Children enjoy our Markward Playground and recreation center. Park users enjoy lawns and tree-lined walkways, a conversation area and a community garden. A unique feature of the park is the Dog Run; a special enclosed area for dogs, featuring a doggie fountain and separate small and large dog areas, with a common corral entrance.

Landscape Renovation is Completed at The Rodin Museum

The Museum was the gift of movie-theater magnate Jules Mastbaum (1872–1926) to the city of Philadelphia. Mastbaum began collecting works by Rodin in 1923 with the intent of founding a museum to enrich the lives of his fellow citizens. Within just three years, he had assembled the largest collection of Rodin's works outside Paris, including bronze castings, plaster studies, drawings, prints, letters, and books. In 1926, Mastbaum commissioned French architects Paul Cret and Jacques GrĂ©ber to design the museum building and gardens. Unfortunately, the collector did not live to see his dream realized, but his widow honored his commitment to the city, and the Museum was inaugurated on November 29, 1929. Reference: Wikipedia
