Sadly all the cups and wrappers and trash were floating and readily visible - but much more easily cleaned with photo editing than in real life...

The birds were out in force:

Long beak, long neck, long legs.

This bird? Not so much on all three of those items...

This shot made me recall that some countries have red, green, white flags.

The birds seemed almost friendly. Perhaps because we were not running and shouting like the kids normally do on this pathway.

This is just about the perfect combination of crisp foreground focus and blurred background (bokeh) shot.

Some bees were hard at work, but sadly, not all of them.

Someone poisoned the hive (probably the gardeners) which we saw on our previous visit. This box is FULL of honey but who knows what poisons are in it as well.

Large industrial iron "things" were scattered around, like this big clevis/pivot

and these giant wrecking balls? Counterweights? Hammer throw?

No more swinging tires or canvas straps -- 21st century kids are swinging on small flying saucers.

I skipped the rope torture course

and went right to the wildflowers.

We left the park and headed for home, passing this nice Porsche along the way.

Since there were no bugs on its nose, I didn't think he drove that down from Montana recently... probably has a cabin there and can't smog it here.

Thanks for walking with us
