A favourite spot

My favourite park is Cates Park (now called Whey-a-wichen).  My teen years were spent near here, and the park proved a place of solace from all that teen angst and poetic melancholy.  Prior to moving to the area, we'd lived in a very urban setting, so the park was really my first solo experience of walking in the woods (on a well-groomed trail, mind you).

Last summer, my mother sold the family house and moved into a condo in the same area, but at a greater distance from the park.  Yesterday, I trotted off to see just how far it was on foot from the new abode and was delighted to find it a mere 30 minutes away, all downhill.  I spent a refreshing hour or so walking through the trails and sitting on the beach

...and getting lots of photos...before climbing back up those hills home.  This, I believe, will now be my daily exercise and meditation program.  And photo indulgence.  I hope you'll be able to join in...
