One of our favorite places in Bakersfield, California is Hart Park.  It offers a lot of activities.  It depends, really, on what you like to do for the day - from the docile to the extreme.  The last time we were there a speed boat competition was taking place but they had a $12 entrance fee but if you have enough energy to scale a hill you can get a great view of the lake.  There’s another lake, within the vicinity, that’s a great fishing spot!  A few dozen fishermen were casting their rods and were getting a couple of fish to bite.  Poor fish.

So, we decided to feed the wildlife. Yes, we know we shouldn’t have.  We did anyway - blame the rebel within.  We choose the most extreme sport - feeding wild fowl! Behold! The dangerous PEAFOWL!

Seriously, these animals are adorable and very colorful.  They will eat out of your hand, that’s how tame they are.
