Keeping busy in Yuma

Last week we went with the park "Singles club" to visit a new park in Yuma. It is built on the site of an old city dump. It is a beautiful park. With areas of "habitat" for different species of desert wild life. There is a place for "Burrowing Owls, Humming birds and Butterflies." Open areas for rabbits and other mammals. Below is your lettuce being picked and packaged in the field.

Remote sail boats racing in the small lake in the park

Gloria's favorite bird the Road Runner. It doesn't sit still very long.

The humming bird is easy to see in this photo.

If you look in the NW quarter of this photo you will see a humming bird.

This is one of the play areas built in the park. It is constructed completely with composite wood. It is a very busy place.

This statue is in honer of the "Mormon Brigade" that camped here on the way to San Diego. During the Revaluation.

We went to the "Light Parade" in old town Yuma. They had lots of lighted cars and trucks. Unfortunately our cameras have slow shunter speeds in the dark.

Things to see in Yuma Lakes

There isn't a lot to see in Yuma lakes besides RVs. These are Cattle Egrets roosting on the dead brush in the lake. (more illegals)

The lake. It supposed to be 13 acer'e. But it looks small to me. It has Small mouth Bass, Crappies and cat fish. (trash fish.)

Coots mowing the lawn.

Day trip to Los Algodones B.C

Shoe shine parlor. You get a shine for $2 or less. A hair cut for $3.

This is our favorite ally to shop in while in Algodones.

Necklace's and ear rings.

A wall of Wall hangings. See anything you like?

This guy had some of everything. These guys pester you while you are eating your lunch. One after the other.

Little girl selling tacky birds made out of feathers.

The deal is sealed. This girl pestered Gloria all during lunch and finely she sold her a Red Coral ring to go with Gloria's red coral pendent. Some thing she really needed. Not.
