We were supposed to get a bunch of rain today, some thunderstorms and I was excited!!!! I don’t like severe storms, but it’s so much nicer sleeping during the day when it’s raining. It did rain some, but when I woke up it was just cloudy and really hot, so I decided it was time to go for a walk. I walked down to the Quarry Nature Preserve about a quarter of a mile from my apartment and took some pictures. There was a bit of a breeze, but once I got on those trails the breeze was gone, the bugs were out and I was HOT! Here’s another blog of mainly just pictures, just some that I took on my walk through a very small area of the park.
The entrance to Quarry Park
Rock carving by the beginning of the main trails
Cute little bridge in some of the granite pieces by a little pond
You can see a lot of the stones that have fallen into the water
They use this pond for fishing and SCUBA diving
Prairie area of the park
I want to climb on these piles so badly...they're all over the park
This sign telling me I can't climb on them doesn't help things either
I'm uncertain as to who "them" are...or what roads I'm following..but it makes me want to find out!
Yes there is even rock climbing at the Quarry
This is the rock climbing area
Looks like spring has progressed a little farther in MN. Our trees are just starting to bloom here… Reeking havoc on all the poor souls with allergies!
Beautiful pics! Looks so peaceful:)
Allergy season has hit REALLY hard here too…I finally broke down on Tuesday and bought some allergy pills before I gouged my eyes out of my head.
The park is really peaceful…if it wasn’t for the bugs (because of all the ponds just sitting there)…I’d probably grab a book or something and just sit and read
What a cool park! You are so lucky to have it so close to where you live. My favorite picture is the secluded pond, it looks so peaceful!
Thanks for all the great pictures, so glad you are back to blogging often 🙂
