[Mostly] Wordless Wednesday - A Lake With a View & Links

The annual walk to support the ALS Association was a week-and-a-half ago up in Denver at Sloan Lake Park. It was a much larger lake than in years previous, and there was a view of downtown Denver.

Now for some links. I'm not endorsing these, merely passing them along. Always do your own due diligence before submitting to a publication or contest.
