The most recent Mystery Photo was a difficult one, as only two readers recognized it. John Titus of Peachtree Corners wrote: “This is the Veteran’s Memorial Fountain at Newtown Park in Johns Creek. This Fulton County park is also the home of a recently-installed replica of the Vietnam Wall, which had traveled around the US and now has a permanent home there. The overall park has several playing fields, playgrounds, picnic areas, tennis and pickleball courts, an amphitheater and asphalt walking trails. It is one of our favorites.” The photograph came from Cindy Evans of Duluth.
Allan Peel of San Antonio, Tex. also recognized the photo, writing that it was “…another tough one. I almost gave up! This is of the fountain in the northern part of the Veteran’s Memorial Walk at Newtown Park in Johns Creek, Ga. The Veterans Memorial Walk is sponsored by the Johns Creek Veterans Association and was created to honor and memorialize all the men and women who have served in the United States Armed Services. The four-acre memorial features a hardscaped trail, circling a peaceful fountain (the one in the mystery photo), sponsored granite benches, a grand entrance plaza, and wooden gazebo. Along the trail, black granite monuments pay homage to each conflict, beginning with World War I and include special monuments for Purple Heart recipients, POW/MIAs, and women in service.”
Red-shouldered hawk roving grounds at Lawrenceville park
Almost regal in his pose, this red-shouldered hawk was seen by Roving Photographer Frank Sharp at the Rhodes Jordan Park in Lawrenceville. The hawk has an almost stately pose as if knowing a photographer was around. But most likely, the hawk is just seeking out some creature to snatch for his next meal.
