Walk With Me in Denver #2

I usually need an "excuse" to take a walk, or at least, the past several years that has been the case, especially since I don't own a car and it can be tiring having to walk everywhere and carry groceries, etc. So I figure if I'm going to expend more energy walking, I should accomplish something.
Yesterday's "excuse" was to put some newsletters for the Buffalo Field Campaign (working to save the bison of Yellowstone) on a community message board (and also a Sneaky Card, which is kind of a part-scavenger hunt, part-random acts of kindness game).
Today's "excuse" was to go get an espresso at a neighborhood coffee house I had never been to before, because I had been given a card for a free drink, so I thought, I would take my walk and get some coffee, that was a plan.

Again, I live in an urban area:

But I saw this:

The Painted Ladies montage (we are on the migration route for these butterflies. I easily saw dozens. But most were in motion and at first I lamented getting a photo, but eventually I got some!):

The leaves are just starting to turn:

Even some manmade things are pretty:

This is a wall inside the coffee house (it's called the Copper Door, and yes, the front door is painted copper though the wall is not):

Mayfair Park:

swirly tree roots

I found the fourth Little Free Library that I know of in my neighborhood. I put a couple BFC newslwtters in it too. I've been purging books and distributing them to LFLs, so I like to know where they are!

somebody was making cairns in this person's side yard

the sunny part looks like a heart to me

Thank you for going on a walk with me! :)
