Greetings and salutations, everyone; yes, once again it is I, Mani the purebred border collie, filling in for the guy I live with, and here today to tell you about my walk in the park. You may remember me from such posts as “Our Winter, Thus Far”, among so many, many others.
Here I am in a characteristic pose.
Today I have a bunch of pictures of me (so you know this post will be excellent) going for a walk in the park not far from here. Actually two walks in the park; one today and one last week.
There were lots of new smells.
This is Bear Creek. It has its source at Summit Lake, near Mount Blue Sky, and eventually flows into the South Platte River.
The creek behind our house flows into Bear Creek, when it has water in it, anyway.
Today the guy I live with’s friend came over and we went to the park again.
It was very cloudy today.
There are a lot of fallen trees in the park. Some look really old. Some aren’t so old and these are willows, like the ones along the creek behind our house. Wet, heavy snow often breaks large branches and sometimes even trunks.
The really big one is a cottonwood.
So those were my two walks in the park.
Happy New Year, everyone.
Until next time, then.
