While in Wyoming, my preferred method of transportation is on the back of a horse. But I do a reasonable amount of walking. Today’s walk was broken up by bits of driving as the various parts some at some distance from the cabin. Mind you, on these roads driving speed isn’t always very different from walking, especially when driving a non-four-wheel drive vehicle!
These butterflies were everywhere this summer. I had a bit of fun with editing in this first shot.
Some distance from our cabin is Park Lake reservoir. One summer during a recent drought, the water level was so low that you could ride or walk well into it. Thankfully this year it was filled with water, a haven for fishermen and people who love water sports. Or you just might want to spend some time admiring the view as my daughters and I did.
Further on along the road is a lovely lake, home to the same water lilies I see each time I visit, but this time they were beautifully in flower.
for Jo’s Monday Walk
Gorgeous photos, particularly the butterfly
Hard to go wrong here. 🙂 Glad you enjoyed them.

I did indeed Janet
Don’t even consider one single second, knew you would choose the horseback. 😀 Beautiful view, excellent captured. 🙂
Thanks, Drake. Sometimes I have to use the car or walk, but riding is of course what I enjoy the most.
Looks like my kind of place, I love the butterfly but the view just makes it for me 🙂
The views never stop enthralling me, even after all the years I’ve seen them. 🙂

Beautiful, Janet! Lovely area to ride and walk in! The images are doing well.
Beautiful scenery.
Even though I (and you, via the blog) see it every year, it never loses its appeal.
What a gorgeous scene around the lake. I loved the water lilies. There is a small lake near our home here in Arkansas with the water lilies – that look just like those you pictured here.
I enjoyed seeing the lilies in bloom this year.
What lovely surroundings you have!
I never tire of them and look forward to the time I/we spend there each summer. 🙂
Marvellous!
Beautiful butterfly image! Love these water liliies! How wonderful to be out there. 🙂
Thanks, Amy. It’s always a joy.
What a beautiful place!!!!
It is and I’m happy you’re enjoying it, too.
It is beautiful!!
I certainly think so. Glad you do as well. 🙂
Silently envious- I’ve never ridden in my life. Can you believe it? 🙂 🙂 Love the image of the lake, Janet, and the whole world loves a flutterby! Thanks for the link 🙂
I believe it, Jo. Lots of people have never ridden. It’s just something I’ve always loved and have been blessed to be able to do in such a beautiful spot. Kind of ruins me for riding anywhere else.
That looks like a beautiful walk.
It was.
I love the views and butterfly, and water lilies. It’s good to slow down and take it all in now and then.💚
It is. I always slow down there and it’s always refreshing. ❤
Beautiful park and lake. Well captured in you photos.
Thanks! I’m happy to share the beauty. 🙂

[…] Monday walk…walk, ride or drive? […]
Such beautiful surroundings. Ah! I miss water lillies so much.
They certainly are beautiful. I’m happy you could enjoy these virtually. 🙂
