Along Clear Creek

Happy Mother's Day!!

This afternoon we took a Mother's Day stroll along Clear Creek, a waterway that flows through Wheat Ridge east along I-70 into Denver - but not right along the interstate. In Wheat Ridge it flows through Prospect Park and that's where we went.

Cormorants nesting on their own little island in a nearby lake. Notice the snow capped mountain peak in the background?

Beautiful erosion pattern looking west and...

east.

In the park we noticed this 4-generation family enjoying Mother's Day. The Matriarch was beautifully dressed in silk pants and jacket - just right for a picnic!

On the path back to the RV park we noticed this beaver swimming in Prospect Lake which we can see from the Airstream.
