This past weekend son Logan and I decided to take a walk around Tulsa’s Lafortune Park. Lafortune Park has a big playground, picnic areas, tennis courts, a high school, baseball parks, and two golf courses with a walking path about 3 miles long winding around it all.
I didn’t bring my camera, just my cell phone. Luckily there were some pretty decent skies.
Part of the trail was a little muddy. In the 26 years we have lived in Tulsa I bet that I have either walked or run around Lafortune hundreds of times.
I love pedestrian bridges. Logan is now 20, when he was about 3 he liked to go hide under this bridge and pretend he was a troll. The kid used to drive me crazy!! Perfectly good playground 100 feet away. Oh well.
There he is. He lags a little behind but it works out because I take pictures and study on things and eventually he catches up to me.
I’m linking with Skywatch Friday.
A great place for walks. The time spent with your kids during those walks will remain sweet in your mind.
I think being a troll is much more interesting than playing in the playground.
Fun post and gorgeous sky shot along the muddy path ~ Great imagination and creativity in your son!
Happy Day to you,

Pretty place and wonderful skies.
Thank you for hosting Skywatch Friday.
Beautiful skies! My granddaughter likes to play troll… except she always wants me to hide and be the troll and try to catch her!
It’s more fun to be a troll than to play in the playground. You know that, Dad!
Have always thought the one thing golf courses are good for is walking. I can hardly believe Logan is 20. Where has the time gone.
A great way to enjoy the sky sights and make wonderful memories with Logan.
Wow – amazing clouds and skies!
I can imagine your son liked to hide under that bridge. For a child it must be way more interesting then the rest of the terrain. Your clouds are wonderful.
Wonderful clouds in these photos!
Such fluffy dramatic clouds! Clouds like those are very rare here in Jeddah…
Playgrounds are boring, Dad! I like that your son still walks with you. My brother in law never got into the exercise habit.
Hello, the clouds are amazing. Great skywatch captures. I like the troll story! Enjoy your day and weekend!
Worth the walk – those fabulous pictures . Did it Rai ?
I vaguely remember playing troll! “Trip trap! Who’s the going over my bridge?”
looks like a cloudy and wet walk at the park
Can’t believe Logan is 20 already! I remember this park – it’s really green right now. Looks like you had some rain. It’s raining where we are in Solana Beach. I’m being a couch potato!
I played a lot of Babe Ruth baseball at La Fortune Park as a teen. Thanks for the memories. I love how you love and embrace the city and all of it’s amenities.
I always enjoyed it when the kids came up with their own ideas rather than relying on a conventional playground for entertainment – the more outrageous the imagination, the better, I say. Thanks for the intriguing, moody skies in some of these shots – love them!
I like a walk like that…pretty scenery, nice paths, good memories, and familiar enough you can just surrender to the moment without worrying about where you are and how you’ll get back (the latter more important to someone like me who is directionally challenged than it would be to you and most other intelligent humans).
Wow! These are really glorious cloud photos. Well done.
