went for a walk today in my favorite park
for the first time in a few months. I've been on a down spiral & it's hard to force myself to go out, but it helps.
It's a pretty park, about the size of maybe 2 city blocks long & wide, with a surprising amount of wildlife that lives there. Squirrels of course, birds of all kinds, bees & butterflies...I've seen a rabbit, a snake, lots of turtles in the little creek-waterfall-pond-fountain complex they have running through the park. Spring is gorgeous there, but generally there's something of interest to look at. Very clever with the use of evergreens, grasses & ornamentals.
It's also one of the few parks I know of that's not for sports or with playground equipment. Just nice walking paths with lots of benches & bench swings to sit on. So I walked around, took some photos (most of which are probably blurry because focusing is not my thing, apparently), & then sat & read for a while.
It was nice. Peaceful. The little Victory Garden they have is a riot of flowers. Victory, indeed!
