This portion of the Crabtree Creek, it meanders behind Crabtree Vally Mall
We jokingly call it 'mighty' but it really is very important.
The Crabtree Creek Watershed Project (CCWP) was built under the authority of the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act of 1954. The CCWP consists of approximately 90,750 total acres located in Wake and Durham counties and contains 10 flood control structures, which include engineered components, flood pool and flood easements. They were assembled on behalf of the federal government for the purpose of preventing loss of life and managing sediment, erosion and property damage caused by flooding within the Crabtree Creek Watershed.
Lovely new area recently added to the front yard of a home not far from us
Lavender Azaleas Rhododendron about 2 blocks from home.

ReplyDeleteAh, Miss C, the 'laveder azalea' is actually a rhododendron. Same family, much bigger cousin! I really like them, but here in Scotland, they are considered an invasive species and there is a concerted effort to remove them from all but the most established and proper gardens. They have a habit of self-propogating into native woodland at the expense of native shrubs... bet you weren't expecting that comment today!!! 🤭 YAM xx
YAM thank you very much...for the info. Now that I look more closely the leaves are very different.
DeleteThe creek looks lovely. The flowers are all pretty, and the hanging bloomers made me laugh too. Angel Madi looks beautiful too.
ReplyDeleteThe creek area looks beautiful! Love that sign but we didn't see any bloomers, LOL!
ReplyDeleteHanging Bloomers instead of fluffy bloomers, lol. What a beautiful place to go to and how wonderful that the state or the counties have provided this for you. Needless to say the azaleas are just fantastic and I'm grateful to say they are blooming here too now. We love your new header with garden gnomes and that sweet angel, the perfect combo. Happy Friday
ReplyDeleteThe watershed project is beautiful and so are the azaleas and rhododendron! Hanging bloomers did make me laugh. Hanging bloomers should be undies drying on a clothesline☺
ReplyDeleteI would love some hanging bloomers but at my house they quickly turn into hanging dead stuff.
ReplyDeleteOhh, all the green, the watershed area, the flowers...heaven. The bloomers made me chuckle, too!
ReplyDeleteBTW, your May header is lovely!
We're glad you can get back outside for your EMW's. You sure find lovely landscapes on your adventures.
ReplyDeleteLove the photo of Angel Madi and the 'Hanging Bloomers' is a hoot ~ thanks,
ReplyDeleteHugs to you Cecilia and Angel Madi ~ xo
Wishing you good health, laughter and love in your days,

Watershed projects are very interesting in Florida just as they are in North Carolina. Just as there are everywhere. Crabtree Creek is not only lifesaving but beautiful. So nice to see your green happening there... all the lovely leafed out trees. The yard is beautiful too. "Hanging Bloomers" did indeed tickle my funny bone! Madi had a great sense of funny!
ReplyDeleteBOL...Yes, those bloomers made me giggle!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful trail...and a gorgeous stream. Perfect for a Spring stroll!!
hugs,
Beth
Angel Madi, look at your beautiful self!
ReplyDeleteMy mom has the entire front of the house in lavender azaleas. After 20 some years they all developed a fungi and died. I will always miss them. Love them hangin' bloomers!

ReplyDeleteYour area is so pretty! The sign tickled my funny bone almost as much as it apparently tickled Madi's and yours. Thank you for linking up with Feline Friday.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blooms and I love seeing Angel Madi. XO
ReplyDeleteThat creek area sure is nice and those yards are very pretty!
ReplyDeleteWe always love seeing Angel Madi the Diva❣️😻❤️
ReplyDeleteMy grandma had a rhododendron at the corner of her screened in side porch. By the time I had to sell the house after everyone had passed, the bush had pretty much taken over that whole corner of the yard!
ReplyDeleteLove the double entendre on the hanging bloomers!
