lakefront park....





lakefront park in prior lake was my park hopping destination most of last week.  my son lucas and i enjoyed exploring one evening before sunset.   he strapped on his rollerblades (see earlier post ~ lucas) and we set off. 

there are so many trails to choose from.  the above photo led to a water fountain and fishing location.  a very serene place to fish and watch frogs swimming around in the weeds and algae.

mmmm....a floating boardwalk.....i wonder what is on the other side?

birch trees...the guardians of the trail and boardwalk entrance.  i looked for some bark that may have fallen off but there was none.  i love the bark of birch trees...i have always wanted to write a story on it.  i remember going on a grade school field trip up to mille lacs lake thinking the same thing.  hmmmmm.....

winding trails and paths are a beautiful thing ~**~*~*~

~*~*~ no lake is complete without ducks ~*~*~

this is where we watched the sun setting over the tree line....while resting on the floating boardwalk.
bless my child's heart for suggesting it.
he is a wonderful assistant....no wait...park hopping partner.

while my eyes are hunting and discovering treasures....lucas' are too.
he pointed this guy out.
we vowed to return....he wanted to investigate the swimming beach next time.

park hopping ~**~


this is the 1st year in 13 years that i do not have a garden to love, nurture and sit in....sooooo....i am being creative, improvising...and going with the "au natural" garden route this spring and summer....as in....loving, nurturing and sitting in nature as is....thus my new past~time and hobby....PARK HOPPING.

PARK HOPPING: driving around the cities discovering, investigating and sitting in parks or what~ever natural areas are calling out to me.

rule 1....just drive
rule 2...no planning
rule 3...there are no rules...i made up the 1st 2.

Neil Park in Burnsville was my 1st park hopping experience....
here is the entrance....i love paths.  this one was screaming...welcome...come in...i have something to show you around the bend.....follow me....
so i did.

hello tree...your eyes are watching...and all googly...thank you for showing me them.

i found this little toadstool in a hidden clearing....the fairies must play~*~**~
back to the path...

oh! oh! oh!  a bridge....


with a view.
i have to be honest...i lost about 2 hours underneath this willow tree.  it is a magical place...the longer i sat...the more i found, watched and loved....did i mention i lost 2 hours hear????

to be continued....
