| On of the many restful areas in our state park. |
Read Psalm 24 1-10
On one of our son’s last days being with us, we took a ride.
We visited the state park just outside.
Our son took his fancy camera with him. I carry my digital
one in my purse. We saw the brilliant green of summer. This park is purported
to be the smallest park in our state park system. I had forgotten how beautiful
this place is.
I snapped a few pictures of picnic areas He snapped pictures
of what he wanted. Several of these areas have shelter houses. One area has a
large shelter and a playground near to a swimming pool.
My favorite spot in the entire park is a section of the road
that turns to the left and enters a shaded area. The lanes divide and a wooden
fence sits in the small median. The trees on either side of this rustic
boulevard interweave their branches overhead to give you the feeling of being
in a cathedral.
We started towards the campground and I saw some close
friends who had been camping;Hubby pulled besides them and we said, “Hi.” We
then went down to the river where we launched our canoe many years ago. There
was a patch of flowers we both tried to get a shot of them.

Our excursion through the state park reminded me of God’s
beauty that He places in our lives that we never really appreciate. I intend to
be more mindful of what He has given us.
Hi Cecelia! I can see the yellow flowers, they are so pretty against the green. We have an Arboretum close, and I also love the outdoors. It's so calming! And how great to enjoy it with your family. Even meet your friends!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these lovely photos,

Ceil: Thank you for stopping in. We always have a nice time at the state park. But, we don't go often enough. When our son was here, we always got him a year's pass for his birthday in January. He loved going camping (he tent camps.) Blessings to you and yours.
