I appreciate Lake Harriet! Here’s why:

1. It attracts a lot of interesting people, some of whom drive really interesting vehicles! (We were behind the car in the photo as we drove home this morning.)
2. The walk around the lake is the perfect distance — and the lake itself is the perfect distance from my house. Or, maybe my house is the perfect distance from the lake… 😛
3. Walking through the Bird Sanctuary is a little like walking through the woods…as long as you ignore the occasional airplane overhead. ;^)
