Awesome day

What a delightful day with my friend Jennefer! The day started with a yummy breakfast at the Cow Eatery, and a long walk through Morrison, then all the way down to Bear Creek Lake and back. We saw lots of birds, and passed a herd of white tailed deer. We had walked over six miles, and we were ready to eat again! We made our way over closer to downtown Denver, and had a delicious lunch at El Noa Noa, on Santa Fe Drive.

Then we headed over to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, and watched two IMAX movies. We saw a 3D space documentary, which was very fun and informative, then ran through the Chocolate exhibit, with our free 10 minutes between films, and went into the next movie, about how airplanes have changed our world. That one was narrated by Harrison Ford, and did a really nice job, of showing how the shorter travel times, and better accessibility to remote places, has changed everything.


We weren't ready to end our fun day, so after that, we took a very relaxed evening walk around the lake, snapping pictures of the beautiful post sunset sky, lots of geese, the lake, reflections, the Pavillion lights.






The Pavillion building at the lake - never seen it lighted before - with the American Flag waving beautifully in the lights nearby. 









Pretty moon over the lake, and downtown Denver in the background.








I just loved seeing the lights reflecting on the lake. I've tried achieving this kind of picture by using the watercolor filter in Photoshop, but this one just came out that way on its own. Makes me smile to look at it.





After our walk, we still had energy, and hunger pangs, so we headed off in search of food. We found a great, but very busy, place called Humboldt on 18th Ave, and had a really delicious dinner. I remember taking Dad and Adele there a few years back, when it was called "Strings," and it was great then, but it's even better now.

Omigosh. This day will be hard to beat!
