68 F/ 20 C

I was ashamed to 
sleep in on such a lovely
morning - sunny skies!

I overdid the cranky feet yesterday and they repaid me by waking me up at 4 AM. I sat in the dark with a bowl of Cheerios and my favourite channels on YouTube until I could put myself back to sleep for the finish. At 8 I was finally out the door and heading for the downtown. 

I drove to the west side of Riverside Park where some kind of tournament for pickle ball was already underway. I parked near the Japanese Friendship Garden before walking (trudging) up the Rivers Trail towards the bridge. 

I could not find any wildlife or water fowl on my jaunt. I stopped at the halfway mark to get my panorama of the river valley. It's always a treat to see my mountains from different locations. I got a shot of the 'survivor tree' at the river's edge. It was looking a little dried out but still hanging on for dear life. 

I walked back into the park stopping at the Celtic Stones. I had not noticed the face of a raven in the single stone before today. 

I picked up some breakfast and was on my way home before 9. My surprise this morning was being passed by a motorcyclist clad in shorts and a T-shirt. It was a crisp 8 C and I felt sorry for those bare legs! 

I'm home for the day with little jobs to prod me. The cranky feet can rest.
