I enjoy seeing the people of the city out in the parks, especially at the lakefront. I like the way they use it for recreation and socializing like it's their back yard. In addition to the bird watchers this past weekend, I saw people walking on the beach, including one guy walking by himself who asked me to take a picture with his camera of him with the lake and skyline in the background because he thought it was such a lovely view.

And people sledding on the tobogganing hill, which doubles as the kite-flying hill in the summer.

They really looked like they were having a blast, even though there wasn't much snow left on the hill.

There was a family--two parents and their son--building a snowman, and of course lots of people walking their dogs.

There were even quite a few ice fishermen left out on Montrose Harbor, making the most of their temporary access to the weedbeds around the docks.

Of course there were people jogging, sitting on benches chatting, kids chasing birds and playing in the snow, etc. The lakefront trail was even free of snow and ice, so it won't be long before the lakefront is mobbed with people again, and I can get back out on my bike!
