Wild Life in Herman park

The train at Herman Park looks like a fun ride. The kids on board were all waving and having a good time.














Miller outdoor theater has a lot of kites flying, kids rolling down hill and in this picture a toddler that seemed to have no parent around as he wandered off. They eventually realized he had been running pretty fast and caught up with him. Some teenagers had a weird skateboard with giant wheels and they were taking turns bombing down the hill. I raced one down.  He was fast, but with me, the trike and a little peddle power at the start, he didn't stand a chance. Funny thing is it looks much steeper going 25 mph down the hill...



Kids get to cool off at the miniature replica of the Washington monument with reflecting pond.










Herman Park has great paved and crushed granite paths to cruise down.
















They are wide and have interesting scenery everywhere you look.

The paddle boats look fun, but I have my own peddle powered fun at hand.















Huge beautiful trees everywhere. Though not for the Charlie Browns among us.













Someones fun was spoiled.

I've always liked this sculpture in front of the Zoo.













This duck seemed suspicious of the strange man on the strange bike.
He was giving the the stink eye for quite a long time.



Kite flying looked pretty crowded. Up close some of the kites were incredible. Birds, dragons. etc. Next time I'll try to get pictures of the grounded kites. I should bring the video camera for this stuff, the point and shoot is good for pictures, but video is a bit blurry...oh wait my video is fine, YouTube just smashed it down to near unwatchable. I'll have to figure out how to embed better quality video.
