Sunday Afternoon at the Park

Elaine and I went to the park this afternoon since it was a nice day mostly sunny and high of 18C.  We first went to our favourite place to look at Wascana Lake  from the outlook on Pine Island.

After spending some time in the park Elaine showed me where the end of the bike path is near the park.  She has gone for bike rides several times along the bike paths and wanted to show me where she rides.   So she took me to different points across the city where there is a view of the bike paths that follow the creek, and then up to the northwest of the city where the path starts.  The path follows the creek through a series of parks that intersect the city.  All these parks and scenic areas are pretty amazing for a city that started as nothing but flat prairie.

It was a very enjoyable afternoon out in the sunshine after is seems like quite a while of rainy weather.
