191 years ago Washington Irving camped on the bank of the Arkansas River south of what is now Tulsa. There is now a an eponymous park on the river commemorating his stop.
He was resting in the sun when we checked on him.
The nearby Harmony Bridge has lots of fun things including this musical instrument.
I played a tune, just for you. (Never had a lesson!!)
I am linking with Shadow Shot Sunday.
A local play park was deserted during a recent walk. Years ago when my son was little I used to climb up into this with him. Lots of fun.
A shadowy stop sign. I am irritated with myself that I let branch get in front of the sign.
Shadows and Snow!

The cold winter sun shining through into our front room.
Where LJ, our elderly, cranky cat is having a nap.
We stayed at a cabin called “Boulder House” and this was the backyard view. The cabin was pricy, but the shadows were free.
Here’s a Christmas scene at our house with some early morning shadows coming through the front window.
And a Little Library on a trail. In addition to books, it contains a geocache. I was the first person to find it which makes me a legend in my own mind. I actually didn’t find it, I had been looking for it for 20 minutes and the cache owner walked and handed it to me. It got approved so fast that she hadn’t hidden it yet. So I hid it. A couple guys came by six minutes later so they were second and third to find.
And a shadow selfie cast across a trail sign asking people not to use muddy trails.
So these are my last shadows of 2022!! I wish everybody a Happy and Healthy New Year!!

Palmettos among the shadows at A Gathering Place for Tulsa
At a nearby construction site, idled construction equipment is resting during the weekend.
Going to the gym one morning, these shadows greeted me.

The concrete bollards cast shadows along the Arkansas River in Tulsa one recent frosty morning.

I went for a little hike the other day at a local park. I noticed a little used trail and decided to see where it went. It turns out that it went to some property owned by a local private school. The property was not posted and there were no students or anybody else out and about so I explored some more and found their football field. You can tell it is not a big school. It is a school with a very good reputation. I’ve met the headmaster and he is a fellow geocacher.
Have you been exploring lately?
