Now that I have the LUT sorted out (for now), here's some shots of the new Abbey Park that I mentioned in the last entry (the last picture). 

Abbey Park not only has a dog park, it also has a gazebo that overlooks a vast garden of blue, light blue, and white wildflowers.

Across from the gazebo is a long row of red and pink wildflowers with a row of purple flower. On each of this long row are Japanese Cherry trees.

Next to the gazebo and accompanying garden is a carousel for patrons to enjoy while they're walking through the park.

Further down the main path of the park is another garden. Surrounded by small, white rosebushes, pink and red wildflowers, and then a circle of large, red rosebushes, the cherry tree in the center is the focus of this area. Benches line the circular pathway, so visitors can sit down and enjoy now only the view but the array of aromas.

After enduring months of construction, University Blvd has come along way from simply being the edge between a forested area prone to criminal activity and is now lined with beautiful bushes, trees and flowers.

A view of from the northern end of the park shows the park's overall features and surroundings.

I hope you've enjoyed this entry. I had a lot of fun building the park. Apart from the university's campus, this is the first actual park that I've "designed" and plopped. It was a lot of fun.

As always, I welcome any feedback, critique, suggestions, etc. Feel free to like, rate, and/or comment!

The flora and the way it is placed in the park is really lovely. Good job!

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. :)

I forgot to add a bird's eye view shot of the park, but here's one!

The bird's-eye shot "sold" the park for me.  Until I saw it, I really hadn't quite connected with the work you had done.  Great idea!
