Spring Day @ the Park


Last week,(Sophie's last week of Spring Break) we went on a picnic to the park in town. It is a beautiful park and being in center of town that is unusual. There is a creek that runs through it and Sophie loves to explore it with her dad. They spent many happy days last summer doing just that, and I imagine there will be more this summer. I took this photo of Sophie among some of the hundreds of daffodils that are growing in the park.





And this one.



Here I am as a dryad. lol This is a huge tree that has been struck by lightening and is all but hollow inside. There is a huge hole all the way through it and you can look down into this space from above.







This is the beautiful old willow that we picnicked under. It reminded me of the Grandmother Willow character in Disney's Pocahontas. It was so lovely, and I gathered so many twigs that she had dropped over the winter, I am planning to make something out of them.



Sophie found this blue marble in this old tree stump. I thought it worthy of photographing.

This is a close up of the section of the willow that made me think of the Grandmother Willow character, I could just see the wise old face in there.
