Walking Reedy Creek Park, RVA - August 17

 Nice Friday in Richmond, and forsomething different humidity was down, as was the heat which made it a great time for an early morning walk. I strolled past Forest Hill Park, which has some events this weekend. The movie night (tonight as I write this) is a new sort of event I think (though they may have had them before), Music in the Park on Sundays I have been to a couple of times before. That event I can speak to, bands have been really good and it is a great deal of fun. Crowds are usually pretty good size and the bands that come have been really good so far.  

I walked down some of the hilly roads that give this area its name and wandered around the very beautiful Riverside Drive to Reedy Creek Park. Very nice place, with some beautiful sights to check out. I was not far here from the canoe launching area - this photo was taken at the Visitor Center. Great place to see nature. That view is commonly shared, saw a guy taking photos with a very large camera lens (and a tripod). Richmond has a lot of parks, and they are by and large pretty remarkable. Park wise Richmond makes great use of its James River and nearby areas, and is starting to put a lot of places to eat and enjoy the views, along with some fine already existing ones. Coming as I have from Louisville which is on the mighty Ohio, that is a great asset.  Greatly enjoyed the Friday walk in the RVA.
