Different in the Evening

The still pool

I almost always take my park walk in the early morning, especially in summer. Last week we suffered through a heat and humidity wave and I got busy with museum tours so when I noticed that my step numbers were down ( yes. I’m one of those nerds who counts ) I decided to walk in the evening. These pictures were taken around 8 pm.

One of my beloved willows

I had a flash fiction piece published a couple of years ago about this tree and another close by. I always express my thanks to these giants when I walk by.

Willow tree, oh water tree

The atmosphere was different, quieter. Birds were singing their evening song before settling down in their nests. There were no kids running or biking on the tracks.

Long evening shadows and mirror reflections

As I turned for home I reflected too on how lucky I am to live so close to a place where peace settles down at evening

Another summer day closes

    You are blessed indeed to be living in a city yet able to dive into beautiful nature just a few steps away! It’s truly a lovely park!
