Everyweek we are out there we are trying to some of the trails that are only open in the summer.  About half of the group takes off and does the 5k, while the rest of us do about 1 or 2k.  When it's really hot, we almost have to stick to the shaded areas, but with this wonderful cool weather we can see things we don't usually see in the winter months.  As far as wildlife, we did spot the eagle out there next to his nest, but there were herons and ducks flying in and out of the water most of the time.
The white wildflowers look so beautiful especially the abundance of white with a little lavender laced inbetween.  They cut down the grasses this week, so I think the walkers suffering from allergies had a bit of relief.
