FRENCHMAN'S BAR PARK~Vancouver-WA

This Sabbath Day began with a drive to Martin's Bluff beachfront, in Woodland …

… and ended with a new exploration of Frenchman's Bar Park, in Vancouver.

The day was beautifully warm with sunshine.

The day echoed with Life.

The main trails were nicely covered with asphalt; and then woodsy trail spurs were refreshingly cool and scented.

Something new … I only walked the upper mile.

Sounds of life, all around.
A pretty leaf lending color to the trail back to Betsy …

It was a nice Park: but I don't think I'll be going back: Betsy is long and large, and the parking was really tight.

But it was a nice setting before actual Shabbat hours began :-)
