Residents doings.
I think it was the dog that triggered this idea. I shot them as I found them. I spoke to the dog's master.

Welcome to UHH! When youcomment about a post, be sure and hit the Quote button at the lower left so it is tagged with the post. It took me a few times before I heard about that button...hee hee. You are right, this is a great Challenge as we can see what inspires us in our hometowns. What does yours look like? I will post mine tomorrow. :-D

laskalass Thank you for such a good start about home towns. You have such beautiful country. Would love to have that kind of scenery in my back yard. Have been enjoying everyone else's part of the world. This is second best for seeing it. Richard love yours as it got me to chuckle. I chose Sliver Springs park as that is close to where I live. At one time it was an amusement park with glass bottom boat rides and animals. At one time there were movies made there. One that comes to the top of my head is Tarzan. They also use to have concert there in the winter time. One of the singers that they had there was Willie Nelson and many more.
Sign at the entries.
going into the park
the glass bottom boats are on the other side of this building.
The boat on the far left and the second from the right are the glass bottom boats. When you look through the bottom you can see the springs when they go over them
A view of the river.
Some turtles that we saw one day.

My Town - last part. We also have agriculture and animals of all kinds - moose have walked through our yard (21 acres) and deer are a customary sight. We have hidden trails that offer fantastic scenery and photo ops - if you have sturdy boots and don't mind black flies and mosquitoes. And much much more. But the best part is the people who live here!
Looks like heaven......

All we got was wind and rain.. No hail here, it blew over us to Commerce City and Aurora... Planes damaged at the airport, did you hear that?
Well that's good to know. Yes I did hear about the planes that were damaged and saw the amazing clouds over the tarmac that one of the news stations posted on Facebook.
