An Early Morning Visit to Lake Harriet

Let's go to Lake Harriet around 5 or 6 in the morning, and see what we might see.  There's Daisy and Tom waiting for breakfast.

Plenty of Runners and Walkers!
Ducks practicing their diving skills.

A friendly concession stand open for breakfast.
And a bright picnic shelter to eat it in.

Tulips and Towers.


Ready Rowboats.
And if you're wanting to sit down and ride for a bit, there's even a trolley station.


It's a little like being on vacation every day!

What a Morning!

The sun was shining on the bandshell:

Daisy and Tom were waiting for their breakfast by the tree:

And the blossoms were at their peak!




The creek was high:

Even the fences sparkled!

I had to bring a little home.

It really is spring!


Around the Lake (and back)

Our favorite apple tree is growing up.  You can see why it's our favorite.



But it has many equally beautiful companions.


Daisy and Tom are looking wonderful this morning too!



And the little backyard patio plants are putting on their own display.
