All Alone in the Park--Tim

I went to the park this morning. My kids are back in school so I had no company today. I parked in the farthest lot from the entrance. I noticed, as I was driving through that the water had receded quite a bit, at least the parking lot was dry. After parking I immediately went to work filling my trash bag. It is sad to realize how much people dont care about nature, I have been filling trash bags for weeks now and still I have no problem topping of a new bag each week.
While searching near the water line I noticed that someone was careless with fire, probably a cigarette, and had at some point started a small brush fire. The burn mark only covered a small area, but with the dry underbrush and the amount of branches lying around it could have been alot worse.
The ball fields look as though they have been freshly groomed in anticipation of the up-comming little league season. Maybe that will bring more visitors and I wont feel so alone in the park.
