I don't usually like going out to paint during the weekend
And have my easel get in the way of the throngs of people
Out with their wives, hubbies, children
Grandmas and grandpas sauntering behind them
Then joined by their incessantly talking and laffing
Cuzins and Aunts and Uncles
Dogs with sticks in their mouths
Charging after getaway balls
That often seemed to be coming in my direction lol
Lawn chairs and frisbees aflying
BarBQ paraphenalia that include
Coolers filled with hot dogs and beer
But last weekend I had to get out to the park
To catch the rhododendrons
Before they get pelted by the impending rain
Early enough when the masses are not quite out
But many a photographers with their sophisticated paraphernalia
Fit and fab joggers focused on their fitness goals
Moms and Dads to burn the energy off thier little early risers
Daughters guarding their elderly Mothers on walkers
Girlfriends out chatting
While they power walk their problems away
The glint of light sparkling off the bench is squelched
By a cyclist plonking himself down for a break
From his ride through the quiet woods
And then I see the light dancing in and out amongst the trees
Iluminating the rhododendrons galore
I had come to take delight .....
I often wonder
How God came up with so many colors and designs
For all the things he created
To put on this heavenly Earthly playground for us all......
