Today the kids and I met up with some friends at Point of Rocks Park on the Appamatox River. Not only does this park have one of the coolest names I've ever heard applied to a county park, there is a gigantic playground area and, as if that weren't enough, a nature trail that includes a boardwalk through a marsh.
I don't normally include nature-y photos here, especially ones that include absolutely no blue to speak of. But the exotic beauty of this marsh as a tremendous thunderstorm blew in was breathtaking beyond the normal nature-y stuff and worthy of breaking one my rules.
Include whatever you want! There's plenty of blue in those clouds, despite the silver lining.
ReplyDeleteI read about Virginia native Cy Twombly today. He passed away yesterday. I'm horribly lacking in art education, so I hadn't heard of him before this. I'm not sure I like most of what I've seen of his in this short review over the filter of a computer. I do like some of it. What I definitely like is his attitude of creating what he wanted to create without giving a damn about the critics when they panned him as a hack. It sounds like he also equally didn't give a damn when one of his works sold for 5.6 million. I'd take that with a grain of salt but both seem like good lessons to me.
that park looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteand i agree with charles~ plenty shades of blue in the sky. ;-)
I especially like the photo of the boardwalk through the lush green wetlands.
ReplyDeleteThe sky is blue! :)
