Golden Pond
Taken at Crown Hill Park in Lakewood, Colorado. This my usual dog-walking park and more recently my coyote-photography park. it’s a pretty unassuming little place, but when the light is just right it can be spectacular.

ok you have me convinced I must go here lol
Jay Ryser
It’s a pretty unassuming little park, but when the clouds and sun are right, it’s an amazing place to be. I’ve also spotted fox and coyotes there, and I could swear there was bear scat.
