Colonial Lake

To continue park week, the narrow greenspace and walkway around Colonial Park offers a perfect setting for walkers and runners who seek the pleasant evening air at sundown. Large oak trees and palmettos frame Charleston single houses which line the lake.

    Perfect timing.
    American oak leaves look very different to English oak leaves. ;o)

    The running seems to have slowed down to walking - but who could blame him in such delightful surroundings lit by the late evening light. Well caught Doug...
