... in the merry merry month of May...
We took a walk at a place called Lincoln Park on Saturday afternoon. It was a nice sunny day, and we, well, I, wanted to see if there were any baby ducks at the pond. I also had a chance to try out the camera in my new cell phone.
It was the night of the high school prom, and the park is a popular place for the prom goers to get their pictures taken by mom, dad, grandma, and whoever else wants to tag along. It tickled me so much to see these kids, who will be in jeans soon after the dance, all dressed up. The girls were all manicured and pedicured and made up and hair sprayed to within an inch of their lives, all stepping gingerly on high heels, with their prom dresses hiked up around their knees. They looked like pretty little satin jewels. If you look closely behind the fountains you can see a couple of them.
Just a couple of pics of some of the flowers blooming at the park. I love pansies. They look so unassuming with their happy little faces.
And if you'll indulge me, just one more. I've always been fascinated by this tree. It's very very old and shows the scars of a hard life.
