Wide Angle Wednesday: Looking Up

Golden Ponds District Park opened in 1990.
Land was donated to the City of Longmont by the V.V. Golden Foundation. Vernon Golden, who had mined gravel on this site, donated the land to Longmont residents as a place to fish, walk and enjoy nature. A bronze sculpture of 'Vern' helping a small boy fish was donated by the family and is located along the path. With a magnificent view of Longs Peak and the Front Range, this park features 88 acres including 56 acres of water surface in four ponds. The park has 2.6 miles of park trails, a handicap-accessible fishing pier and nine picnic shelters. Wildlife of all kinds, especially waterfowl like great blue herons and cormorants, are easily viewed in the park.

This park is my favorite local walking and blipping place.
 
Thank you very much to Hobbs for hosting these WW challenges.  They have been so interesting and I have learned from each of them!

I almost forgot to say that this looks much better full screen. ;-)
