    Thanks Misbah,  I am so glad that you liked learning about this park and the namesakes of it.  It is wonderful that their children donated the land to the City of Houston for everyone to enjoy.

      It is wonderful to know about the history of E.R. and Ann Taylor whose children later donated their homestead to the City of Houston and it was converted to Historic Forested Oasis Park with attractive elements for visitors to enjoy. A beautiful contribution, Peggy. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

      Thanks to Misbah for posting Peggy's article.

    Dear Misbah, lovely poem. I could relate to the feelings expressed by you. We may know a person well, but we will never know their actual story. One should never be judged by their outward personality. I enjoyed your rant. Thanks Brenda for sharing.

    Hi John,

    Even though we live in countries far apart, it is a pleasure to be able to share some of the beauty that exists in this park, and relate the story behind it.  The children of E.R. and Ann Taylor are to be lauded for donating this property to the City of Houston.

    It was wonderful to read about this lovely historic park, Peggy. The pictures are all beautiful. George and Ann's story is also so endearing. it is very nice of the family to donate their land to the city of Houston. Their generous act has helped create a nature retreat for bird lovers and other people to  enjoy in peace. Thanks Misbah for sharing.

    Hi Chitrangada,

    Peggy
    Your articles always amaze me.
    You put so much time and effort into each one.

    I love the story of ER and Ann ~ it was an uncommon union which survived.

    It's sad some of their children didn't grow up to be adults.

    I love your pictures but I'm disappointed with Hubpages...they have placed ads in between your photos.

    I can say skip..but it honestly has no place being enclosed in your work.  It's distracting.

    The pictures of the birds are interesting & so is the park.

    Great article.

    Hi Chitrangada,

    I am pleased that you enjoyed learning about this park and the story of the people who settled there.  I knew you would like the photos since you feature the beauty of nature in so many of yours.
