Today we went to the local Lake Merced for a nice, peaceful walk. The lake is only about a quarter of a mile from our apartment.

We had only gone a little way when we found an old skateboard made into a swing. I couldn't resist it....

Our plan was to get away from the crowds downtown, but......

... there was a charity run round the lake for lung cancer! There were a lot of people!

Here is one of the police cars that was there to keep everyone safe.

They are quite different from ours.

Soon it was time for a picnic....

and afterwards we found some of the local wildlife.

Raccoons!
