MWT - Around the park


Chris and I were at Reid Park Sunday morning for our son's running event. Since we would be there for a couple of hours, I decided to explore the path that goes around the park. The weather was a cool 40 F and there was still frost on some of the grassy slopes at the golf course.

I don't know what building this is but it looked old and I liked the details on it.

I got back to the north side of the park just in time to see Kevin finish running his 10K.

  3. What an absolutely delightful series of lovely views from your world. Thanks for taking us along on your walk. Love the mosaic with detailed shots from the 'unknown' building ... the crow playing 'king of the world' ... and the starlings in the saguaro cactus especially. I appreciate your visits ... have been having trouble visiting lately myself because Mozilla keeps crashing. I have a faulty WLAN card it seems but I'm doing what I can this morning.
    Hugs and blessings,

  9. I bet the runners appreciated the cool temps.
    You found a great variety on your look around, I guess all the wild life was out enjoying and appreciating the cooler temps too. :)
