Return To The Park

Return To The Park After a long hiatus I have come back to visit the park.  Immediately, I am reminded of its allure and hear an inner voice scolding me for my lengthy absence.

An intimate perch above the shoreline beckons for company. It creates a protected space for the viewer, enabling one to nestle [...]
