| Wildflowers. Golden Ponds Nature Area, Longmont, Colorado. May 2016. |
I took advantage of another warmish and sunny day in Longmont to check out the Golden Ponds Nature Area.

Almost immediately, I was presented with this sobering sign:

Reminds me of a similar sign at Oliver Lee Memorial State Park outside Alamogordo, New Mexico. Where I was camping. Eek. Which led to this internal melodrama.
OK, I wasn't actually perturbed by the sign at Golden Ponds because the park is so open, it was daylight, and there were plenty of critters around that were much more tempting than me, such as geese, small dogs, and young children. Plus it is practically in a suburban subdivision.

Gosh, it was a pretty day. The walkways are flat and wide.

Because it was May, pretty wildflowers bloomed. There were baby geese.

There is a mixture of open field and creek-side woods.

There are ponds for fishing.

The mountains frame the views.
Along a path, I met up with this handsome fellow:

He reminded me of his gentlemanly cousins outside Morgan City, Louisiana, at Brownell Memorial Park.
