Tucked Away In Town
We rode past this place yesterday. The girls and I decided to walk back today to take pictures.
It's tucked away just past the library and always amazes me. Isn't it pretty? And it's within walking distance of our house.
I won't overload you with pictures (today), but you can follow that one, above, to my flickr pictures if you want, to see the artsy fartsy flower pix I took. Oh, and one of Noodle sitting on a fallen tree.
I thought this one was fun, although not the greatest quality. It's Iliacat on a fallen tree bridge, she's my monkey girl, always climbing. And Eminoodle running through the forget-me-nots to tell me something. It reminds me a little of Laura running through the fields in the Little House on the Prairie intro. I always wanted to run through fields of flowers.
A nice way to wrap up a Mother's Day afternoon, with a lovely walk with my girls.
Happy Mothers Day, to all you Mothers out there!

Were those forget me nots in the grass? Is that right behind the library or closer to the low spot that always floods?

Posted by: C.C. Almon at May 14, 2007 11:03 AMthose photos are awesome. like a fantasy land.
Posted by: Linda at May 15, 2007 2:31 PMthey're both great photos. Pshaw on the 'quality' of the second - it captures a mood and it does a great job of it. Beautiful - I'm so glad you have such wonderful places within walking distance. I worry about my city friends sometimes and all they are missing out on... glad to see you have some nature about close by :o)
Posted by: kelly at May 15, 2007 5:01 PMYour top photo is absolutely elven! I want to live there!
I'll join you in your Bible study, but it might take me a few days, a week, or something even longer!
Posted by: Eowyn at May 15, 2007 10:51 PMDid I comment on this already? If I did, sorry about the double comment...maybe I commented in my head without actually writing anything. *shrug* Anyway, those pictures are gorgeous! I'm a little jealous you live so close to that. I think I would be basking in that field on a daily basis, just looking up at the sky. Lucky you!

That is soooo purdy!!
Posted by: BusyHSmom at May 18, 2007 12:25 PMWOW - this is NOT the town I remember. Is the library still in the same place across from the Center for the Arts? These scenes are truly majestic - and how lovely you got to take a walk with your daughters. I look forward to the Mother's days when my children are old enough to do something for me. Happy Mother's day to you. You are an inspiration. :-)
