To be clear, I did not go ice skating today. But I will definitely get out there on the ice this season. It’s one of my favorite winter activities!
But I did walk at my favorite city park, which has a long path running in a big oval around a lovely man-made lake, with all kinds of landscaping and sculptures. And since the lake is frozen, many people were out enjoying the exhilarating fresh air by skating on the ice.
The park is called Centennial Lakes. I love going there to walk anytime of year. It is surrounded by great restaurants, and my husband and I love to go and sit on outdoor patio for dinner and then go walking around the lake.
But today was all about enjoying the magical season of winter, with twinkling lights and children’s laughter.
The landscaping and statues are really amazing. I take pictures of them whenever I go.
There are also benches and chairs and swings all throughout. They were quite pretty in the snow.
Perhaps when it’s not way past my bedtime I will go round up a few of my posts about it from the summer and link them here!
Thank you for visiting!
