Friday Walk

We enjoyed a warm Friday afternoon walk around Ketring Park. More than one short walk in the same week, hooray! I must be doing better. My recovery is clearly not complete, as I still find myself racing home after our walk.

We're sad to see Ketring Lake so low, with many large islands where there used to be one body of water. Looking into it online, I found a 2016 Denver Post article saying that they dug a 700 foot well nearby, just to supply water to the lake. Well, I guess *that* didn't work! More recent articles say they're fighting a losing battle with evaporation and have been considering reducing the size of the lake.


 

Huge thicket of beautiful roses in Gallup Gardens. This corner of the gardens always seems to have something gorgeous blooming, whenever we walk past. What a treat!








Pretty Oak leaves, making me think of Fall... but wait... it's only June! Too soon for a color change! Whaaaaat?!








Kid fishing -- when the water's up, this statue is inaccessible from shore without getting wet to your waist.








This kid fishing heard us talking, and looked up at just the right moment. It made me want to caption this photo: "Watcha reading?"
