Leaving the Dog Park

This is the path that Olivia and I walk on as we are returning home from the dog park at the bottom of St. Mary's rec center. To the left is the rec field where kids were playing soccer yesterday.
This path always makes me feel like I'm out in the country, even though, off in the not-too-far distance to the right, is the freeway. . . complete with whir buzz of traffic. But that's okay. The city is the city. You find idyllic slices of nature wedged between soccer fields and freeways, and you rejoice.

Having walked this path many a time I can't say I have seen look quite like this. You caught it in seemingly unique light while the sun was at an angle that created a rope like lay of shadow on the path itself. Looks cool. I'll think of this path differently next time I walk it.
