The weather has become very hot - and I am not a hot weather lover. I choose the early morning for my walk for slightly cooler temperatures. There is something peaceful about early morning. Walkers distance from others, yet the occasional smile, nod of the head lets others know that while we distance physically, we are all in this together. At our slower pace of life I savour these little moments. There is time for noticing. I caught this flash of red like a flame among the cool greens. With no deadline to reach a destination, I stopped and enjoyed the way the red just popped out at me - a little visual feast.
Another red clad person caught my eyes and my ears. At both the beginning and the end of my walk, I passed him as he played his saxophone, indifferent to people around him. It was lovely to hear a live musician. While I have watched YouTube concerts and Facebook concerts, they don't live up to the live experience. In that other life I attended many concerts and this week, in particular, I am missing the Montreal Baroque Festival, where I would attend as many as 5 concerts in one day. So I savour this moment, too. A little sense of normalcy in our very abnormal times.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that you enjoy walking and the treasures you find during the lockdown days!
Have a great day,Susan.
Hi Susan! Glad you're getting out for your walks. How great that you were even able to enjoy some "live" music. I remember when you would go to music camp. I imagine that's not happening this summer. Stay well.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos and lovely post! I'm so worried about the state of live music/theatre/dance. And having the border closed is also so sad (though I understand the reasoning of course). Best wishes!
ReplyDeleteGlad you're getting back to your blogs, Susan. Your thoughts are always interesting. And that "flash of red" photo was beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice composition! The world of deep green is enchantingly beautiful. The red color accent the surrounding colors in both images. Nice walk with photography and music.
