Dorothy Carnes Park

Monday, May 22, 2012

   My mom was out by us, visiting family.  Last night she was at Therese' and Roy's home, visiting with the great-grandchildren and enjoying the dinner that they prepared.  Then she came over to Farmville and spent the night. 

   My sister, Colleen, said that she wouldn't go on a walk unless we ALL were going.  Mom said that maybe she would go when she is back out by us on Thursday.  So I guess that I was going to go by myself......till mom changed her mind!  Then Colleen was going, too! 

  
   So it was decided that we were going to go to Dorothy Carnes Park. 


   The flocks were blooming everywhere!!  We saw butterflies and dragonflies and big bumble bees, going from flower to flower.  We even saw lots of butterflies warming themselves on a couple of trees.  There was just so much beauty everywhere! 

   Colleen even showed Mom how to use her macro setting on her camera.  Mom was thrilled!!  She filled her camera card, and had to go back and delete pics that weren't so good, so that she could keep taking pictures! 




It was a great day for a walk!!  A great time was had by all!!

  2. Your pics are wonderful Kathy!! Yes, we did have a great time, didn't we? What a perfectly lovely day weather-wise. And the woods were so very beautiful, and so fragrant with all that phlox and the earthiness. I loved sharing the day with you and Colleen. What a treat! It makes a treasured memory for me. <3 <3 <3 Mom

    1. Us, too, Mom! The pictures don't do it justice! You just can't add the smells, the feel of the air on your skin, and the pure pleasure that we were experiencing! The pics do capture some of the details, though! I am so thrilled that you learned the macro setting! Now I am looking forward to seeing your macro pics!! :)
      Love you, mom!! <3<3<3
