I'm never sure just
what I may find or how far
these poor feet will go!

I was up and out the door at 6 heading for Riverside Park in the downtown. As I backed the car out of the garage I could see a lot of chukars in the cul de sac. I edged up closer to find several adults with a large brood of babies scurrying about. I got one quick shot and they disappeared. I've never seen the chicks before. It made me think I should put out some water and oatmeal for them again. Avian 'flu had required all feeders to be pulled in. 

Riverside Park was very quiet this morning. I found a couple of squirrels bopping around the children's playground equipment. I also spotted several children's shoes of different colours and sizes abandoned there. It must have been quite a party! 

The city has installed bike racks near Heritage House. They are very skinny versions/outlines of bikes. 

I got a shot of my mountains to the east and the confluence to the north. Minutes later, the Canadian National train pulled across the railway bridge with a long load of milled lumber. 

When my feet started to complain, I left a quilted heart on a post along the Rivers Trail and headed home. 

I have a couple of items I need to collect this morning before the heat comes on. Other than that, it's relaxing in my recliner for the day with deference to my sad feet.
