Friday's not usually our day to get takeout breakfast, much less "dine out", but we decided to do something special on our 2nd day of the new year -- breakfast out and a fun walk somewhere we haven't been in awhile.
After breakfast, we went for a walk, starting at the nearby George M Wallace park in the Denver Technological Center (DTC), and venturing along that trail much farther than I've ever gone.
Shiny leaf on the frozen creek. It's amazing to me, how much effort it took, to capture this simple little photo. When I brought the camera down lower to capture more of the frozen creek in the background, the bright sun completely washed out the colors, and everything came out in various shades of charcoal.
Christmas decorations near and far -- at first, we thought the sun was reflecting off the bulbs, but then as we got closer, we realized they were still powered on.
Interesting-looking dried plants in a marshy area -- my phone says this is Pentanema Squarrosum…?
This Sumac seed pod was standing out by itself, just asking me to take a picture.
Cute goat nibbling on old Christmas tree
Partially frozen over pond by the creek in Orchard Hills Park
Gadwall ducks in a small pond by the creek in Orchard Hills Park
The creek in Goldsmith Gulch, with some interesting clouds in the distance
Happy horses in this field
Delightful blend of subtle colors… my phone says this might be Oregon Grape
Conifer tree with the sun peeking through the clouds just above… puts a cheerful spin on the gloomy sky
