MyShadowProductions #32 - Day Trip #9 - Denver to Boulder

Happy Thursday and welcome to March!!

Today is one of those rare cloudy days with a little drizzle in Denver, yesterday was sunny and temperatures in the 60’s for a Spring tease which included a volunteer shift pruning perennials (Rabbitbush and Blue Fescue) at the Denver Botanic Gardens and a sign of the times, COVID-19 vaccine 1 of 2. 

Sorry, both very exciting activities but I didn’t take photos :)

Tuesday was also sunny and warm and perfect for a day trip to Boulder via the RTD bus Flatiron Flyer (FF1).

Didn’t know you were going to get weather reports did you?

My day in Boulder included walking along the Pearl Street Mall and continuing west on Pearl Street to Settlers Park and Eben G. Fine Park, and a Gyro sandwich at Falafel!

Spring has sprung on Pearl Street Mall:

I have walked west along Pearl Street a few times but this was the first time I ventured into Settlers  Park and enjoyed the Red Rocks Trail which is steep, slippery, rocky (imagine that), fairly short but BEAUTIFUL!!

Here are a few photos looking back from the trail towards Boulder:

Also, the trail along Boulder Creek is always interesting and I love the mixture of snow and ice and water. Are those terms redundant or just different forms of the same thing?

It was nice to see that the area was fully open and the fencing that limited access was removed.

As usual, there were several “campers” here and there.

Here are a few movie/videos from the days’ photos:

Here is the welcome sign and the information plaque that is posted in Settlers  Park. 

It has some history that might be useful when taking the MyShadowProductions First Anniversary Pop Quiz, coming soon!?

You think I am kidding?? Probably, maybe, why not, we will have to wait and see :

Here is a photo of the nice little Falafel Restaurant and my Gyro sandwich. My foodie photos need a lot of work. There is a generous amount of gyro meat under the toppings :)

Well, time to put this Post to bed and Publish it, have a great weekend!
