one of my favorite views

there are so many places

in this valley

and into the park

that are absolutely beautiful

and i don't think

it is possible to

pick just one.

but for some reason

the view

as you leave town

and drive north along

the elk refuge

and the duck ponds

before you crest the hill

into the park

is one i just love.

it is kind of peaceful

the way the clouds sit way out

over the hills,

throwing their shadows all around.

the ponds usually have a duck or two

and if you are really lucky,

a pair of trumpeter swans floating about.

the grasses change colors throughout

the season,

from brown in the winter

to an undescribable bright lime green  in spring

back to golds in the fall.


can't explain it in words

why it is so special to me,

but maybe a picture

will do.
