The Creatures Of Red HIll Park

2008.02.02

Alien ships landing

Charlotte in her web?

Anteater Vs. Ant!

Dinosaur Bones

Blue Slug Rising (the drop photos from my Out of the Blue post on Wednesday were from this slide).

Childhood dreams

These are photos from the new playground at Red HIll Park. They just unveiled it but it hasn't had many kids playing on it because it's been cold and rainy lately.

I stopped by there on the way to lunch with my mom on Sunday. It was still covered with raindrops so no one was playing on it. Still, it looked so shiny and new that I was tempted to try it out. But I didn't want to show up at lunch all dirty. :) I wish they'd had playgrounds like this when I was a kid.

Anyway, the shadows were kind of harsh. They reminded me of creatures. Hopefully they were kid friendly creatures. :)
