Went for a walk on Presidents Day around Tulsa’s Lafortune Park. It is a little over 3 miles around so it is perfect for a walk or a run or whatever you want to do. The trail winds around two golf courses, a tennis center, a library, a playground, and some little league baseball fields so there is a lot going on.
It has several ponds which make for great reflections when the sky is decent.
The trees near water make for great reflections.
Trees in the winter can be spectacular.
Ditto
The library has a hip modern design, but it was closed. You can get their wifi in the parking lot though. They started that during covid. That was handy.
And a Bonus!!
I got a new cell phone that I am still “messing with.” I took this shot the other day in my front yard. A crescent moon, with Jupiter nearby, and Venus underneath. The moon is kind of fuzzy but I am still okay with it.
I am linking with Skywatch Friday
Marvellous sky reflections.
Love that tree reflection. Great shot!
Thank you for hosting.
Great shots, especially the reflections.
There is something so beautiful in the stark limbs and patterns of a tree in winter. Add a reflection and it’s gorgeous. Lovely park for walking and taking photos.
2nd and 3rd pictures are astounding. Wonderful!
Beautiful park. Great shots of the leafless tress and reflection.
Beautiful collection of reflections and sky photos, love the trees too.
Have a wonderful weekend!
These are stunning reflections, particularly the tree by the little bridge. Lovely!
Absolutely gorgeous photos in the park ~ the reflections are divine ~
Wishing you good health, laughter and love in your days,

I actually miss the gracefulness of winter trees. And they do make lovely lacy reflections. That is my kind of walk for sure. Three miles if you feel up to it, with lots to look at and great stopping places (especially at the library (when it is not a Federal Holiday.)
This has been another week of contrasts in McKinney–from chilly, blustery, rainy to proto-summer. Your park seems quite nice, and rather more natural than our local pond park. But you’ve inspired me to take the dog out for a hike around the adjacent nature area. Maybe I’ll get some inspiration for next week.
Thanks for your curatorial efforts on Skywatch!
Great photos!
I especially like the third one – the big tree reflected in the water.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Love the trees, reflection, and moon shots!
Great reflection photos. I missed the lineup of Venus, Jupiter and the moon, sigh.
I love the trees and the reflection.
You picked a great day for a walk. I really like the tree reflection photo. Beautiful!!
Lucky you! You took a 3 mile walk in the fresh air. It looks like a nice place to take photographs. Betcha you had a nice time. Great images.
Such wonderful crispy colors and a painterly atmosphere in the park. Yes, I agree with you, trees in winter have so much attitude and your phone night shot is amazing.
Lovely photos of the bare trees against the beautiful, blue sky.
Great reflections!
I love winter trees, nearly black against a sky! And even more so, I love their reflections! So, I really enjoyed your shots this week.
Love the skeletal tree shapes and bonus reflections. Great night shot with phone.
