The Collector & Me

Hi Knitters,

This isn't a knitterly post but rather a springtime post. The Collector and I ventured out earlier this week with the camera in tow to the nature conservation park only a few blocks from our house. We love it there. 

Actually, last summer they added three large ponds to the park and I have a feeling that we will end up spending a lot of time by these ponds this summer. The Collector wanted to make a beeline for the ponds the minute we walked into the park. I hope you're up for lots of photos because that's what I have for you today.
Rambling open paths...
footprints under the water that tell a story....
secret entryways...
reflections of fluffy clouds painted on a pure blue sky...
never take the easy path...
tiny black tadpoles swimming under the water...
big trees bursting with buds...
dandelion heaven...
bumpy old bark...
twisty little vines waiting to be untwisted...
a smattering of violets, white and purple...
rules to be read...
a hidden ancient park...
with the best old rusty teeter-totter (complete with a car tire bumper)...
dried out wheat grass blowing in the wind...
and a fairy ballroom waiting to come to life.

The Collector in her glory.

Happy spring!

best, susie
