Three views - same spot, dog park and helping out

- The May view from the bridge at Tanyard Creek Park near my office in Atlanta.  So interesting that this photo was taken the same time of day as the March and April shots below, but the sun just seems more brilliant now.  And I love those heavenly scented privet blossoms there in the front.  I almost missed them - I have been a bit of a slacker about exercise this month, but loved my walk on Wednesday.

 - The mid-April view - I thought it had the look of a painting when I posted about it before.  There's a dog run area just around the corner from this spot.  A couple walking their big, floppy eared dog let him off the leash and he excitedly darted forward into the field, turning around expectantly, those large ears perked up.  The man threw a red ball and off he went...  Such a happy sight.

- The mid-March view.  There are always professional photographers in this park - seems as if every time I go I see one.  On this day there was a photographer leaning in to photograph a woman and her baby daughter, both wearing pastel green outfits (perfect for this lush, green park).  To help out, I gave the baby my biggest smile of the day when I passed behind them.  She gave me a slight smile and interested look, while the woman snapped away.  On my return trip, the photographer was leaping and twirling, trying to elicit another smile or laugh. This time the husband and a little boy had joined them.  The adults were both wearing strained smiles.  :)

Here's something to smile about:  it's a three-day weekend coming up!  And while I'm excited about my Memorial Day holiday, I do remember why we get the day off here in the states:  to remember and honor our fallen soldiers.  I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, my friends.
