Freeway Park

It's no Central Park, but it is a lovely urban park that I am lucky to have in my path uphill between the bus and work.  I used to take the stairways through but now that I'm older and wiser I love to wend my way around the switchback trail that takes me close to every waterfall,  allows me a  flashback of my hiking days and is a way to spend a tad more time in that outdoor space. 

 So I'm in that in between stage now .  I'm no longer in the younger and in a hurry crowd who bounds up the steps but I'm still some time away  from the ways of the elderly couples who gingerly toddle (funny how we go back to toddling eventualy) while hanging on to one another around the curved walkways. 

 Oh and there is the Parkour way.  I didn't take this picture but did an internet search after seeing 4-5 young men leaping from wall to wall

  while I was sitting in Freeway Park having a leisurley moment.  I was thinking please don't fall and hit the pavement at my feet!  But they made their way without a hitch.  I learned that this is an urban sport of using building walls and other urban obstacles as challenges.  Amazing.                                              

 

I'll stick with the middle way and enjoy the scenery.
