January Walk at Cherry Creek Reservoir

The Cherry Creek Reservoir appeared to be in mid-winter hibernation this afternoon.  Only one little boat was docked in the marina.

I stood on the pier and looked at the water control tower.  It is a purely functional structure, reminiscent of a Soviet-era apartment building.  The Corps of Engineers scored no points for style on this one.

Here is the outlet side of the flow system (picture stolen from the internet).

On my walk back home I saw a squirrel disappear into its nest.  It's a fairly threadbare nest.  All of the insulating leaves appear to have blown away.
