Thanks for the video. I'm originally from Bucks County and there's another state park besides Neshaminy you can visit which is Tyler State Park. Originally I'm from Newtown, PA and there's some historic homes, graveyards and churches in Newtown, PA since it was founded by William Penn. They go back to Revolutionary Times. You can combine a visit to Newtown with Tyler State Park if you have the time.
I've been thinking how a lot of us grew up believing "city+bad" - I certainly am one! But as I wandered around the planet I found I loved the classic city neighborhood experience. It's the parking lot dominated traffic mess of the suburbs that I really hate. An old city usually has what it takes, but they werent built for the automobile. I lived on Capitol Hill in DC and loved the rowhouses, brick walks, front gardens, arching trees, and the local market - a real community gathering place. Now I live in a city neighborhood in Johnstown, which has some funky charm. But I can see the Mountain from my front porch, about 5 blocks away the forest just takes over and goes up, up up. Thanks for the tour!
That was just beautiful. Good old cabbage moth shows up. We have many of them too. Those gardens were lovely. Those birds were delightful. I’m getting slight impression you may not Philly. Thanks so much for taking me along and please stay safe and take care
Dr. Benjamin Rush was my great great great great great Uncle, I may have added too many or not enough greats lol. He was one of 55 men that signed the Declaration of Independence.
I go too this park at least four times a week. There are many types of birds. Lots of deer as well. Very peaceful at times. The gardens are great and have been there for many years. There is also a model airplane field for flying enthusiasts. Can’t believe you where so close to my home town area, I wish I had seen you there, would’ve loved to say high and chat. Love your videos!
I very much enjoyed this video, I hope you return. Also appreciate the quality equipment you use to film especially the zoom camera. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the zoom-ins on the birds. Being legally blind, that's the only way I get to see birds in any detail. That mocking bird cracks me up. If a person spoke with that many different voices, he'd be put in a mental ward.
Where you’re actually standing was the Byberry mental institution I grew up in that neighborhood. It was a very large complex of several buildings, and a farm. If you look up the history and the pictures of what that area used to be, you will be shocked. It was crazy scary hanging out in the abandon buildings before they tore them down. There was even some patients that live there. They were thrown out when they close down the institutions wandering around the woods. The land was also owned by Quakers, and many escaped slaves lived and formed that land there is a graveyard in the woods of several of them.
Hi Cliff, a nice little area to go and chill out away from city life and to grow veg, the lack of butterflies there is worrying, any idea's ?? could be the heavy presence of traffic ??. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx 💖
You’re in my neck of the woods! . I was going to say, you should check out Neshaminy State park too! A lot of history there too. There used to be a ferry that spanned across he river right there at the park to the other side, at the end of Dunksferry Rd. You’re also across from Old Byberry State Hospital (other side of Rt1).
That's the Roosevelt Blvd. traffic, yes, Rt. 1. I was born in Philly, lived there for 52 years, last years in the NE. City isn't bad when you know your areas and know your way around. I know my way around. Benjamin Rush's home was mistakenly bulldozed when they built townhouses near Knights Rd. There's a plaque there. They saved the wood and were to rebuild it elsewhere, I think of Red Lion and the Blvd. Philly, as a city, has the most extensive park system in the country. Check out a map of Philly and see Wissahickon, Pennypack (both very historical) and other large park city systems.
hi Woodsman birds beautiful Tame yeh like n cork city wr i live no butterflies n my garden just 2 bees this is gt foliage Brian well done not lover of big cities anymore either
this place is the funny pharm. Literally Philadelphia State Hospital. They had high rise criminally insane jail's across the BLVD Rt1. Man this could have been haunted Philly.
For what it's worth, we have had honey bees, but only just a very few butterflies this year here in Ohio (and I definitely have flowers that attract them!). I'm so sad! Where are they?
@@thewanderingwoodsman7227 You we’re actually in one of the safer areas of Philly. I lived in the city for 38 years. It was a great place to grow up. Nice neighborhoods, fantastic schools and good people. I moved from there 30 years ago. Since then it’s turned into a war zone. Not a nice place to live or visit. Me and my wife love your videos. Keep up the good work!
Philadelphia is a beautiful city, actually. Many old, quaint, historic neighborhoods. Take a train to downtown so you don't have to drive. Get out and just walk around. There are many small, beautiful city parks. And Fairmont Park is the largest city park in the USA. It was designed by by the same man who designed Central Park in NYC (which is also worth visiting).
Study up on Benjamin Rush Cliff. This state park is the east side of route 1 former Philadelphia mental hospital or Byberry. This is the one that got away man. You could have told a better tale. Had to open my big pie hole. sorry.
@@thewanderingwoodsman7227 You always do an excellent job man. You missed the history of this dump site. Oh well. My loud Philly mouth is so quiet because I to am a hiker. You need pointers on visiting ghettos.
@@thewanderingwoodsman7227 Don't mind me Cliff. I'm being sarcastic and acting Philly, You create the best daily video EVER !!!!!!!! We city scum do visit PA as well. LOVE YA and all your subs.
@@thewanderingwoodsman7227 Yeah both sides actually. The complex covered both sides of route one. It still has tunnels that join all buildings together. There are 4 tunnels under Route 1. I know of and walked in around 1983. I was was just poking at you for not covering Dr. Benjamin Rush. Dude You are a History dude.
Not in this part of Philly. Nice to see how many people are afraid of the entire city because of a few bad inner city neighborhoods. My advice.. if you're scared -- stay away!

Another plus for community gardens is the interaction you have with other gardeners- the sharing of knowledge!

That was truly amazing you caught that mocking bird sing I couldn’t believe all the different songs he made wow
Fun Fact: The rangers and the maintenance crew there, are the same people that run Neshaminy State Park...
Dr. Benjamin Rush was my great great great great great Uncle, I may have added too many or not enough greats lol. He was one of 55 men that signed the Declaration of Independence.
He is related to the fickes family
@@alexfickes2798 Sure was....Aunt Peggy

Come on Cliff, we know You got "mad" love for the Philly area surroundings !! 🤣 Enjoyable post 👍🍻
I very much enjoyed this video, I hope you return. Also appreciate the quality equipment you use to film especially the zoom camera. Keep up the good work.
It is what it is, we are in Philadelphia....lol too funny!!!
Cliff,
The video of the Mockingbird singing would look good on You Tube.
Cheers,
Rik Spector
Always enjoy seeing the map & Naomi.😊 Beautiful meadows & flowers. Mockingbird such lovely songs. Thanks for sharing the birds. Love watching them. Greatly enjoyed this❣🥰
Your video clips of the bird life was amazing.

May have been just a bit too chilly for them yet.
I live right around the corner from here and I also go to neshaminy state park!!
Love Mockingbirds!
Loved the birds!

I have to say the only park that gave me a odd vibe.please go to tyler state park Beautiful🏞
Or Tyler State park.
Thank you.
It doesn't look like Philadelphia, but I can hear it though. I love it.

he,s singing philadelphia freedom!
nice video. I think that redwinged blackbird was giving you the cackling irritating call. His nest was probably real close to you.

what are your feelings on philadelphia? not sure ive heard your opinion
Don't really like driving around the area...

You should try the NJ pine Barrons sometime, great place.
I'll get there eventually..
I believe that the park is the site of Benjamin Rush's home, since demolished.
I eat lunch in there every weekday.
Place reminds me of Lake Livingston State Park in TX in the trail areas
It is cool, that's probably why you are not seeing butterflies.
I share up on fb
Drive by everyday never visited
Me to. I think I'm gonna check it out.
Odd park been there strange vibes.Go to Tyler State park 🏞
Umm Philadelphia has one of the largest city park in the nation at 9200 acres
Why explore around philly if your scared of philly?

Not sure what your point is....The purpose of the video was to visit this state park and hike around a bit...and that's what I did.

I did look it up after reading your comment, Didn't know that place had existed across the street.
@@thewanderingwoodsman7227 Yeah both sides actually. The complex covered both sides of route one. It still has tunnels that join all buildings together. There are 4 tunnels under Route 1.

All the butterflies got shot the night before.
