The San Antonio River, King William Segment, A Reminder It's Still Winter

Friday, March 9, 2012

Today's photos:

This was one of those days when it was highly tempting just to stay in bed all day. The temperature stayed in the mid-40s (F) all day. There was a brisk north wind. I managed to get the walk in during a brief break in the rain that ranged from a heavy mist to heavy showers all day. It was a reminder that we are still in the winter season. Apparently, quite a few of the ducks had decided it really was a good day to sleep in.

My walk today was my first since beginning this blog along the stretch of river just south of downtown where it goes through the King William Historic District. In the river management scheme of things, this section is maintained by the city's Parks and Recreation Department. It is similar to the Museum Reach north of downtown in that the river flows through a concrete lined channel. But the banks of the river here are generally much wider than in the Museum Reach and are maintained more or less as manicured parkland.
