A Walk with Megan in Columbia, MD.

We completed a 5K walk sponsored by the Columbia Volksmarch Club.  Columbia, MD is a planned community, which I remember having its start in the 60's.  It  was planned with open spaces, connecting paths and a friendly lifestyle setting.  Of course, now with any urban site it has its problems too.

However, our walk took us into the Wilde Lake community, over paths and around a man made lake.  There was lush greenery everywhere, probably due to the abundance of rain recently received.  (remember Ellicott City down the road?)  We spotted a great blue heron at the dam.  Some of the streets have unusual names...one was "Gray Owl Garth."  Along the path was a mini outdoor library where you could chose a book to take home.  Columbia seems to stress the appreciation of art, so we noticed an interesting sculpture.  See below...make your own interpretation.

Megan spoke about her interest in planting flowers and vegetables at her new residence in Buffalo, NY.  We hope she enjoys the wonders of Spring and the satisfaction to see the colors of growth as we did on our walk.

This walk took us over the halfway mark for a goal of 100K..a walk with Megan. (Yeah!)
