Late afternoon last Wednesday on Tulsa’s Turkey Mountain at a small pond. I just love running the trails there. Once I get more than a quarter mile from the parking lot I have the whole park to myself. One thing about the area is that there is not a whole lot of money budgeted for maintenance. We depend on volunteers to show up and do everything from clear downed limbs from trails and pick up trash. But if a tree falls over into a pond. So be it! It is part of the wildness that we love about it.
really pretty 🙂
And it’s great that people volunteer to keep it clean – I like that.
I like places that are allowed to be almost completely natural…as long as I can still walk the paths.
It looks like a wonderful place! Sure wish I could still run…
Beautiful place and a beautiful capture for the day — any day!! I thought I had commented earlier this morning, but I guess it was my ancient brain?????
Nature at its best. Good for the volunteers keeping the pathways clear.
Creative shot ~ especially like the reflection for OWT!
Happy week to you,

Oh it’s nice to let nature be nature.
Naturally fallen trees are my favorite things to poke around. They become hosts to all sorts of creatures!
Enjoy your natural trails and the running, Yogi!
I like your ‘nature is nature’ ideology – no need to clean-up the tree from the pond 🙂
Have a Happy Week!
Peace 🙂
A peaceful and lovely place!
Peaceful!
Have a wonderful day!
