River Village Park's Footprints

Remember I mentioned in my first post about River Village Park, that I had more photos?

Here are two more. They showcase the footprints that are all over the area by the children's play area.

The first photo is of a magnificent tree that they managed to save and they added benches for the parents to watch the children play. A very serene part of the area and yes, look at those bird prints all over the sidewalk! :-)

Here is a close up of the footprints of a bear.

Bears, like the one that graces the flag of the Great State of California, used to roam in these very hills.

Ask any child in 3rd grade about it and they can tell you that the "Monarch" bear was killed in in the Angeles National Forest, south of Vasquez Rocks.

It was brought up to San Francisco and then eventually the Sacramento area. It was used as the model for our flag.

I hope you can feel the cheerfulness that the footprints bring to the area and the bright primary and desert earth colors bring.

Someone was really thinking of both bright colors and earth tones, when they made this play area.

Well done, in my humble opinion.
