It’s just such a pleasure to walk around this scenic drive road and just look out at the grassy plain and water areas.  I also walked around the Kiwa trail, which is a beautiful trail with some benches to just sit and while away the time.

The exciting activity today was to photograph the cloud patterns as the storms rolled by.  Not much rain actually dropped as they seemed to skirt around this area.  I even heard thunder rumbling out east in the mountains.  A perfect mood.
