At the Park

Snapshots from 6:00am to 7:00am when the park was delightfully quiet and cool:

At the park...

We went to a running event at Reid Park in Tucson early yesterday morning.  These snapshots are from the Richard & Annette Bloch Cancer Survivors Plaza on 22nd Street.  The yellow caution tape around the structure was due to landscaping work.  My pictures don't begin to capture the beauty of this plaza, just one of several R.A. Bloch Cancer Survivors Parks in North America.

Shadows and birds were found yesterday morning at a running event at a park in Tucson.  First the shadows…

volunteers carrying water

men’s race

 

women's race

some runners go by the station without taking water

some take a cup of water

others prefer to have water thrown on them

It’s all good!

Many more shadow pictures at Shadow Shot Sunday.

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.
