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.

statues and such....

i love statues and fountains...i have a small obsession with the ones that depict women who are "au natural"....for me personally they represent the inner goddess in women.  their true essence....

this one was at the arboritum my soul sister Kathy and I visited last week....the same one with the beautiful orchid display....see that post if you wish to delight in the orchids.


i think she is beautiful...surrounded by the lush green...very earthy~like....i wanted to be her....


she was holding a frog....gazing.

lush earthy green plants.
a perfect respite from winter in March.
