さんぽはのんびりしていましたが、みずがつめたかったです。- The walk was relaxing, but the

water was cold.

Today's excursion was an Open Space Park about 30 minutes away. The park lies in a valley, so the best time to visit is spring or fall as it gets really hot there in the summer. There is a small lake, a swift running creek, a large picnic area under big pine trees and several trails.

The day started out sunny, but a strong cool wind made for pleasant walking weather. A t-shirt is all that I needed, remarkable in the second week of October!

There was a cold front coming in though and soon after I got home I took the last picture in this series. That's right, that's snow! It only lasted a few minutes and did not stick to the ground. Although it had cooled off significantly, it was still 7°C after all... 😃
