Enjoy some of the beauty to be found in Golden Gate Park near Stow Lake!
(There is a suprise at the end!)
Look close for some great horned owls!
Isn't it beautiful?!
And now for the surprise: Quite a few of these photos were taken by Kathryn! (including this one!)
Golden Gate Park is an urban park consisting of 1,017 acres and is the 5th most visited park in the U.S. The earthquake that shook San Francisco in the early morning hours of April 18, 1906 left fires blazing for three days, devastating the city.
Tens of thousands fled the city in the aftermath, but an estimated quarter-million residents were left homeless and approximately 40,000 of them flocked to the relative safety of Golden Gate Park where vast refugee camps were established.
We learned some of this from the book we read for our Cousins Book Club!
