Sunlight & Shadows At Crescent Park

"A smile is happiness you'll find right under your nose." - cartoonist Tom Wilson
   
Sunlight wove in and out of deepening shadows casting magical happy-spells, it seemed, on all living things at Crescent Park where even a bullfrog showed up with a smile. The spacious park has two ponds and forested paths located some two miles from Crescent Beach where I normally explore. It was that time of day when light washes out swaths of colour and reflections swish lacy distortions at every corner.

  14. Honestly Maria you live in Paradise! That beautiful park as well as the beach in your regular walking area (your "patch"!). It all looks so beautiful lush and green. And the happy frog is the crowning touch! Lovely post (and calls to mind the importance of of the most pressing issue of the day! As always thank you for that reminder.)

  16. And your happy frog does make me smile, as do your ducks and ducklings, adorable :) The water shots are lovely, as is that sweet little dog. Those trees look enormous. I am a tree hugger so am drawn to anything to do with trees. Great photos!

  18. A great illustration of the joy that can be derived from a simple pond - and there is much to be learned too. There could hardly be a better combination.
