Sunshine and temperatures in the mid-50s brought out Bellevue residents of all ages, and their pets, to the Downtown Park on Friday.

From joggers and walkers to toddlers most interested in the ducklings swimming through the reflection pool, the park was awash with sunshine and a Spring preview vibe all afternoon.

The warm weather was slated to remain in the area through Saturday, giving way to showers just as Daylight Savings Time returns.
