We all have a go to spot. You know, a place where you feel comfortable, familiar with and pretty much know what to expect. Dry Creek Park is that place for me. In the summer it’s teaming with families enjoying the water, wading and swimming. It’s green and lush.

However, in the winter, the trees are barren, with branches strewn all over. I wonder whether they come in during the spring and clean it out before the summer crowd hits. I thought I’d see more water in the creek because of this winter’s rain, but I didn’t notice much of an increase in height.

There is a playground, tennis courts and a covered picnic area in addition the creek separated by a concrete roadway and large grass area.

Marlene and I went for a quick shoot. I wasn’t raining and we both wanted to get out. That’s the kind of place it is–a go to spot.

Looking down the creek.
It meanders with the trees forming a natural canopy.
This sandy beach is a favorite summer spot.
What’s this alligator eating?
A big beach puddle and reflection.
I love the roots of these trees.
More creek. There’s a log and debris in the center.
Natural decay.
The sun came out for a few minutes.
Someone replaced the old tire swing.
Marlene noticed this patch of fungi.
Away from the creek, the patchy grass is now green.
A family walks along the road that separates the creek from the play area.
Look back down the road.
This beautiful sky overshadows the playground.
