Sunday in the Park

We took a lovely walk with the dogs last Sunday.  It was a beautiful day, clear and the flowers smelled great.  Mr Bankerchick, takes them everyday on this walk at the Claremont Colleges, weekends, I get to go.  We start out in Claremont Village and greet all the folks having coffee or breakfast in the outdoor cafes.  After the pups are admired and sniffed by the array of pooch partners in town, we move on to Pomona College, where these pictures were taken. Yesterday we took them straight to the college on 15 foot reel leashes and they went on a smell walk.  They got to stop where ever they wanted and they did. Mr Bankerchick's walks are more regimented for health benefits, so they were in heaven on Saturday.

Saturday Photo Hunt-WOODEN

PhotoHunt

This is a lovely WOODEN arbor area at the Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden in Claremont, CA The garden is the largest botanical garden dedicated exclusively to California's native plants. Mr BC found it last year when he was looking for someplace to walk. The 86 acre natural setting offers beautiful mountain views all year long and the best of California natural plantings. It can be very warm and dry during the summer months, however, this spot is always shady and cool with a stream of water surrounding it. A good place to read and I wish it was in my back yard.
