Time to Play

Strange Looking Creatures

Photos: September 17, 2016

I took a nice long walk and passed through a couple of parks along the way. It was nice to see the ways people are encouraged to play outdoors - from the very young to the old. These creatures are waiting for some young climbers. Imagine riding on the back of a turtle. Even the alligator looks harmless.

A Place to Play

All you need is a chess or checkers set to enjoy this spot. Young and old can enjoy playing outdoors.

Ping Pong in the Park

It was nice to see this ping pong table in use (and not the first time). The players looked quite intense. Our summers are short; our winters are long. These are all for warmer weather - a time when we need to embrace the outdoors.

Water Park

Arches

Water park
Joyful cavorting
Child's play
As adults look on

Spraying UP

Unexpected gushes
Spouting water
More magical than
The sprinklers of my childhood

Watery Arches

Arcs and arches
The water dances
I stop to share the delight
Of frolicking children

Oh to keep
That bubbling up joy
of a child's heart!
