park on Auburn Blvd near Watt Ave, next to Discovery Museum
late afternoon
cool & clear, not a cloud out but a light gusting breeze, almost too cold for my sweater
There's a bridle path near the creek here (maybe Arcade Creek?) but I don't have time to wander too far...
Big oak just off the bridle trail near a ballpark that's right here, too. Birds call out, one flies low and twees as I walk down the path, not a kildeer but I wonder if it's trying to get me away from a nest nearby.
Many many oak leaves litter the ground and crunch under my feet as I walk back to the car. It's a little sad that they just turn brown instead of some glorious red or yellow. I guess the Valley Oaks are glorious enough without flashy colors.
