Around Lake Park

This is such a pretty place - we are right at Lake Lewisville, but high enough up that this campground doesn't close due to flooding. When we were here in December, the water level was higher. It is still a little high now, but the walking paths and roads are not under water -- they are, however, not fully available as the city is repaving almost every road in the park and many of the sidewalks near us. I think the underpinings of the roads and sidewalks near us were damaged by the flooding.

On Thursday there were beautiful big puffy clouds that made the sky so beautiful. The lake was choppy as it was windy.

Looking down toward the dam (it is kinda around to the right beyond that sandy spit of land)

On Friday, we walked the other way from the campground - the skies were less cloudy and the lake calmer.

We were walking down near an area that is marked on a map we got from the campground as a "beach" - we don't know whether the flooding took away the beach or if the lake is still so high that the beach is covered.

The campground is on the other side of that water behind the tree in the center.

Another view of the campground area - again, across that inlet of water.

Some pretty wildflowers - they were tiny, maybe the blooms about as large as a dime.

Warning: An average of 5 people drown in this lake each year. Don't become a statistic. Please wear a life jacket.

My honey enjoying the walk. We are on the flight path for planes coming in to DFW airport, so Dwayne LOVES that!!!
