On April 9th I went to the park with Mark, our child and Remy. It was a cool but only slightly breezy day. The kind of day perfect for going on a walk to gather inspiration.
It was a short walk around a wall which separated two parking lots. I opted for the shorter walk since I didn’t want to walk down and then up the hill. There were little pathways going off to see natural plant-life, otherwise known as weeds.
In one area there were spring bulbs flowering and I was intrigued by some of them. OK all of them. I love flowers, especially in the spring, and in the woods, or at parks, etc.,
I took pictures of as many flowers as I saw, with the intention of sharing them in my art. I get a lot of inspiration from the park. Each time choosing a different path or part to wander through.
The paths ended up at an amphitheater made of rock and concrete and lined with benches. A garden was in the center and all of it was in much need of repair and clean up. On a bench at the other side against a wall I found our child playing the violin. The violin has a beautiful deep sound and the music wafted across the park, drawing a few wanderers. It was too beautiful not to take a ton of pictures. I wish I had a recording. Alas, I can only do one thing at a time and this time it was pictures.
It was getting quite chilly and our violinist was not dressed warmly enough. Remy had a fantastic time.
Spring has progressed since that trip. The trees have started greening out a bit and most of the daffodils are done. Our apple trees are in full blossom now as well.
This was a great memory made and I have more pictures to use for inspiration.
Thank you for reading this post.
I’m sending you lots of love and blessings,
