I walk at Jensen Park which is a area about a mile south of our house and the southeast part of Syracuse (and yes, I do drive down to it to start my walk which Gary thinks is funny, but I want to use my walking time to walk the trails not the sidewalks of my neighborhood.)
Here are some of the sights as I walk a trail that makes a square around the southeast edge of the park. Here is the view to the west from the parking lot where I start. It was a cloudy morning, but that is Antelope Island in the background.
This is a shot of the trail as I was walking east toward the Wasatch Peaks of the Rocky Mountains. I was walking around 8:00 in the morning.
Another picture to the west from the southeast corner of my walk. You can see more clearly the snow on the mountain at Antelope Island.
Not everything is pretty along the southern edge of the walk. This is a deserted cattle feedlot, I guess. But even these meetings remind me of the historical background of Syracuse and the surrounding areas and there are still horses and cattle that graze all through these fields.
I must have missed taking pictures up the west side of my walk. This is a view of the nesting boxes throughout the area surrounding the large man=made fishing hole at Jensen Pond. Note of trivia: Gary served on the citizen committee for this project, deciding important things like what colors should the signs be, etc. Our ward did several service projects and Eagle projects to help complete areas of the Park. It is still being added to. Actually these might be the actual bird boxes one of our Scout troops worked on.
I love this bridge and no matter which trails I take I try to end my walk by crossing this bridge and checking out that wildlife. Even this early in the season there were three fishermen trying their luck. Jena really wants to fish here sometime. Hope to get it on the list this year.
More birds. It is fun to live in a place again where you hear the ducks and geese as they travel north and south each year.
"Self-picture"
(You know where you hold the camera out and take your own picture.)
I hope you enjoyed my walk at Jensen Pond, Syracuse, UT.
Join me in person sometime.
(I hope this looks okay when I post it. I don't know how to make the pictures and the text flow together when it posts.)
