saturday in the park i think it was the 4th of july. no, wait, that’s not right.
I return there again and again – partly because (as I’ve said so many times) it’s practically my backyard, but also because I love it, and find it beautiful and always worth walking through. I just took a little steamy walk through Riverside Park (hey! not that kind of steamy….. steamy because it’s muggy and there’s not much of a breeze).
I passed one of the many playground areas and I was struck by the kids. There were 4 little girls, all unrelated to each other, black brown and white, and they were all wearing pink. Two little boys, neither of whom were wearing pink.
Anyway. Take a walk with me.

- what the young ‘uns do in the park

- Peter Pan Dad – he’s either a great dad, or a strange man.

- sharp and pointy

- i love the wrinkly skin of plane trees. This looks like my knee, with the sagging skin above the knee. Well, kind of.

- she was a charmer, a charmer of highest degree (anyone know the song?)
Now I’m making three loaves of ciabatta, working on my website, and getting ready to knit. Saturdays are awesome.

There once was a boy who lived all alone by the sea….
I KNEW you’d get it!
Free for a chat later today? I’m at school working, right now…but I shouldn’t be here for more than another hour and a half. I’m free this evening and tomorrow all day!
I was hoping for a chat! Yes!
I just love the tree lined avenue in the first pic
what a wonderful place to live by… I’ll go and have a look at your husbands site next…
i love that one too, pip – and that spot is the reason i keep going back to the park. it’s so beautiful, in such different ways, across the year.
Oh man, it looks like such a fun place to be at ; ; I think once it cools some, I’ll do a photo post of Balboa Park, as it’s my favorite place to be =3
