Things you shouldn't do in the park

So I was walking out in the park today. There is a nice long trail that takes you through the woods and such. As B and I were walking along the trail, we saw many interesting things.

First were the squirrels. Normally, squirrels aren't all that interesting, at least not for me. Today though, it was what these squirrels were fighting over. They were fighting over a cheeseburger.

Then we passed a family that seemed to be out for a little picnic. They had the basket, the bikes, the songs... the only thing they seemed to be missing? Their kids! The pair, not more than four or five years old, had stopped on the trail to look at some wildflowers without any of the adults noticing, including the guy pulling their wagon.

Next odd thing we came to on the trail today wasn't actually on the trail, but rather in the creek off to the side. We stopped, like we normally do, to look at the geese who have stopped at a certain bend in the creek. Two of the geese this afternoon must have been in a particularly festive mood, because they had on bright blue collars. I'm not sure whether it was a tracking device, or simply some piece of trash that got caught around their necks. Either way, it was a bit odd to see that bright blue among all the gray and white.

On the way home, we spotted a man jogging the other way. Well, I guess he was jogging before we spotted him, but certainly not after the spectacular face-plant he managed to pull by tripping over a branch across the trail.

All in all, it made for quite an interesting walk.
