Lichterman Nature Center in Autumn
The Lichterman Nature Center is a certified arboretum and nature center in Memphis, TN. You can see a map at this link. I walked the lake and forest trails this time.
Lake Trail:
They had a display of scarecrows for the fall season:
Forest Trail:
This is an enjoyable park to walk in, although I'll have to admit I preferred it when it was less developed and less geared to school groups. Even so, it's still a wonderful place to experience nature and seasonal changes.

This is a gorgeous place to walk. I think the addition of the scarecrows is the best. I needed the reminder that it is still fall and not yet winter, since it feels so much like winter here. I would also love to walk here. It has a little bit of everything to offer from your photos. Happy Sunday. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThere's also a meadow trail that I didn't walk this last time I went. It does have a variety of environments :)
DeleteWhat awesome photos of the Lichterman Nature Center. It was a beautiful area and I can see walking there, too. I really LOVED the scarecrows. Grandpa's scarecrow was my favorite, but I also liked Cruella De Ville and Scare Eagle. I thought Reading Rules was clever, but didn't really remind me of a scarecrow. Thanks for taking us on your walk and sharing these scarecrows with us.
ReplyDeleteI didn't take photos of nearly all the scarecrows. They were lined up all along the area around the visitor center. I liked Grandpa's scarecrow best, too :)
DeleteSuch a beautiful place to walk! The scarecrows are such fun and I like the tin man sat in the background on the bench too 😁. Wishing you a happy new week! J 😊
ReplyDeleteThe tin man is a permanent fixture. I'm not sure when or why he got installed, but he does add a bit of flair ;)
DeleteBeautiful walkways. Lots of your trees are still green! The scarecrows really make it fun and whimsical. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, fall color has barely come. It's hard to tell if we won't get much color or if it just hasn't come yet.
DeleteIt looks like an enjoyable place to walk. I'd be so amused at the scarecrows. What fun!
ReplyDeleteThe scarecrows are another way they use to attract school groups. They make a good seasonal addition :)
