Bible Park Cottonwood  (Plein Air)

I was at Bible Park the other day. Named for James A. Bible, a 50 year employee of Denver Parks and Rec. The north side is a typical city park with mown grass and ball fields, of which Denver has many. But here on the south end it is untamed and natural with Goldsmith Gulch and the Highline Canal running through. I grew up around cottonwoods and are attracted to their presence. They typically grow around water. In the fall after the yellow of the leaves has turned to a light brown, the leaves tend to hang on for a while and when they are rustled by the wind, it almost sounds like applause...
