You couldn't ask for better weather today. The morning sun is just beginning to touch the road to East/West Peak.
Visit #1546, Saturday 9 August 25, 6:00-9:15AM, 4.9 miles, 8.0 lbs. of litter.
Temps in the 60s, sunny and dry.
While heading to West Peak last week to paint over some graffiti, I discovered more recent graffiti on the spillway at the north end of Merimere Reservoir. This morning I kitted up again with the coveralls and walked to the offending spot.
The result looks so clean and orderly it makes the rest of the concrete look like the eyesore! I first used a wire brush to remove any loose material then engaged the creative side of my tiny brain. Geometric shapes like squares are about the extent of my creativity.
On today's hike, like last week, I met some wildlife.
These two nestlings- I couldn't find the nest and had no idea how they wound up on the pavement. One of them already expired. The blurry one was still alive.
Back at Mirror Lake, a turtle was having a better day.
I continue to check on progress of the walkbridge at the Lower Pond. This week the railings were installed.
Will there be a public ceremony when it's complete?
Will there be elected officials wearing hard hats giving speeches?
Will there be a ribbon cutting?
Who will cut the ribbon with the big pair of scissors?
Sometimes after my hikes in Hubbard Park I go home and take a nap. Today was one of those days.
If I don't wake up by next weekend, close the lid.
