I was involved in a Trail Cleanup Project on Saturday focused on this boardwalk wrapping around a pond on Tulsa’s Turkey Mountain Urban Wilderness Area. When we started the shadows were long by noon, the shadows were gone and the temperature was up, a lot.
Not a beach, the walkway to the beach shaded by palm trees, from our condo building on our recent vacation in Orange Beach, Alabama, right on the Gulf of Mexico.
A deck with wood rails in our neighborhood green belt.
My favorite dog walking route is in the greenbelt. Here we drop down into what I call “Shady Valley.” Nice respite on a hot day.
On my bike ride last week. This is where I rested for a while.
And this is a trail bridge over Mooser Creek. It never seems quite wide enough for riders approaching each other. The last two photos are kind of funky I know. My new bike cam only takes video so the stills are screen shots. I returned the camera and now have one that takes stills and video. Life is too short to edit video is my motto.
That’s it for this week. Everybody try and stay cool except you guys/gals in the southern Hemisphere, you try and stay warm!
Sunday morning I rode my bike up and down the west side of the Arkansas River. It was hot, and I was exhausted at the end of my 14 mile ride but I was happy. I had my trail camera on my bike capturing the scenery including lots of other bicyclists, walkers, runners, and escooter riders. Here is a collage of a few of the people I saw.
